The Garden House Goes Wild Charity Open Day

Posted:2 July 2014

SAVE THE DATE:  Sunday 20th July!  Every summer the Garden House holds a fantastic and fun event to fund-raise for a local charity, and this year we are supporting the Moulescoomb Forest Garden & Wildlife Project  www.seedybusiness.org

Our aim is to help the project fund the rebuilding of their hut that was burnt down a couple of years ago, and support this wonderful oasis in the city.

Do come along and visit the garden, and bring your friends. As usual, we will have an amazing charity auction (starts 3pm) . There will be a variety of stalls selling plants, garden-related items and crafts. We will be serving food all afternoon so drop in for lunch or for tea and a slice of homemade cake.
