Open Garden Parties

Could you open your garden or host a garden party this summer for East Cheshire Hospice?

Each year hundreds of people enjoy a stroll around beautiful gardens or spend time with family and friends in their garden during the summer in the Cheshire East area, and this year is no exception. Hosting an Open Garden Party is an enjoyable, and inspiring way to help support East Cheshire Hospice, so we can continue to grow for our future and continue to provide the highest quality of care and support to patients and their families.

How can I get involved?

🌸 Open your garden for us 🌸

Whether your garden is big or small, wild or manicured, opening it up for a day is a wonderful way to celebrate nature, connect with others and support your local Hospice. There’s no need for perfection, just a welcoming open space where visitors can appreciate your handiwork. Participation is free and you can choose a date that works for you.
