Yelverton Gardens
The Open Garden scheme is now in its 9th year. All funds raised through the garden scheme go directly to St Luke's and it has raised nearly £300,000 since it began. This year there are 25 venues, including historic estates at Gnaton Hall, Fardel Manor and Lukesland, combined with fascinating village garden walkabouts. All gardens will be serving delicious home-made refreshments, many will have plant sales and Open Garden raffle tickets will be on sale with some amazing prizes to be won including weekend breaks and garden centre vouchers. The 2018 Open Garden brochure is available at most garden centres and St Luke's charity shops or can be downloaded at www.stlukes-hospice/opengardens.
