More local gardens opening for IRHH
Our Open Gardens programme continues over the next two weekends, when the villages of Askett and Meadle will be opening their gates to the public.
On Sunday 6th June, 100's of visitors are expected to view six cottage gardens in Askett, near Princes Risborough. As well as the beautiful gardens to admire there will also be an artist's studio with an exhibition of art for sale (a percentage of which will be donated to the charity) plus the opportunity to try your hand at terracotta pot making and brass rubbing.

On Sunday 13th June it is Meadle's turn to show off its horticultural delights, as four gardens in the picturesque village near Longwick and Risborough open to walk around and enjoy. One of the gardens will be serving tea and cake.

For a small entry fee (£3.50 at Askett; £4.00 at Meadle) guests are granted access to all the gardens opening that day. Refreshments and plants will also be on sale, with all the money raised helping to fund the Iain Rennie nursing service.
Our 2010 Open Gardens scheme has started well, with three gardens in Wendover being the latest to open their gates on Sunday 23rd May. Over 200 visitors took advantage of the early summer sunshine and raised £1,181 - enough to provide almost eight days of specialist nursing care to patients in the Chilterns area.
