This year’s brochure introduces some new gardens for you to enjoy. Cottage

everyone. From those hoping to be inspired by fresh and exciting creative
gardens, to those seeking somewhere lovely to wander before enjoying a cup

Here at the Hospice we support over 6,000 people each year and strive to
offer compassionate, individualised, holistic and supportive care to patients,
families and their carers.
We are your local Hospice, independent from the NHS and rely on our
supporters in the local community to help us raise the £7 million needed
each year to provide vital hospice care in our community. When you donate
to Hospice in the Weald you can be confident that 90p of every £1 raised is
spent directly on patient care.
Open Gardens raised over £25,000 last year. Thanks to everyone who
contributed to last year’s success. With the exciting new destinations in
this brochure, we hope that many more of you will be encouraged to come
along with your family and friends to help us reach more and more patients
