We are (with a few exceptions), the Hessle West Open Gardeners and family/helpers of the gardeners, and we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s event on 19th May such an amazing day. Thank you to those who came and bought tickets, plants, food, drinks, books, pottery, put up posters, drove the minibus, said nice things and spread the word about this wonderful community event which raises money for local charities. Special thanks also go to the sun which made a rare and rather spectacular appearance, shining all day without a cloud in the sky!
As it was our 30th anniversary, we hoped it would be our best and it really was! We raised a spectacular £11,260 which was shared at our cheque presentation event in mid-July. We always donate half the money raised to Dove House Hospice and the rest is split between different nominated local charities each year. This year we were delighted to support the Hessle Hedgehog Hospital, Hessle Scouts, The Hessle and Anlaby Food Bank, Rooted in Hull, Hessle Community Centre, the Fire Fighters Charity, FIND3, Let’s Play Toddler Group and the Friends of Tranby Gate Woodland and Wildlife Haven.
Please put next years’ event in your diaries – we normally open our gardens on the 3rd Sunday in May (actual date TBC) and if anyone would like to find out more or get involved in any way, please contact Victoria on 07973 915692.
