This year, many local gardeners - both amateur and professional - have agreed to open their wonderful gardens for the pleasure of Dorothy House supporters. Details of all the gardens that have signed up for the scheme can be found below, and this page will be updated with additional information and new gardens added on a regular basis, so keep checking back for gardens near you! For further details, contact the Fundraising team on 01225 721480.

INSPIRED? If you would like to open your garden for Dorothy House - either this year or even in 2009 - please contact our community fundraiser Paula Smith on paula.smith@dorothyhouse-hospice.org.uk, or call 01225 721480.
