Help the Hospice ‘bloom’ this summer
Budding Alan Titchmarshes and Charlie Dimmocks are being sought to take part in the Hospice’s Open Garden Scheme.
Birmingham St Mary's Hospice is looking for local green-fingered people to show their support by opening their gardens during the summer months to help raise vital funds for the work of the Hospice.
Community Fundraiser, Joanne Proudler said: “There are no set rules to the scheme. Gardens can be of all shapes and sizes to enter. We’re looking for people who have a passion for gardening and being out doors and want to raise money for the Hospice. It’ll be the perfect opportunity for them to show off all their hard work and how good their gardens look in the summer.”
If you would like more information or want to open your garden for Birmingham St Mary's Hospice please call Jo Proudler in Fundraising on 0121 472 1191.
