With 11 new gardens, 7 village walkabouts and some old favourites back by popular demand, this diverse selection of beautiful gardens has been picked for you, for your enjoyment. Most are not normally open to the public and so offer a unique insight into garden planning and planting schemes.

This is an enjoyable and inspiring way for our supporters to raise vital funds for our hospice. I hope you will tell your family and friends about the scheme and encourage them to support us throughout the summer of 2015. Our garden community continues to grow with some very experienced garden owners joining our scheme which is now in its 5th year.

I would also like to highlight Gnaton Hall’s special early spring opening for Mothering Sunday on the 15th March. This private estate is the perfect setting

Welcome to the Open Gardens 2015

to spend an enjoyable afternoon with a cup of tea and slice of delicious homemade cake amongst the daffodils and magnolias.

St Luke’s Hospice is a registered charity that relies heavily on charitable giving.

St Luke’s provides free specialist palliative care for more than 3,000 patients and their families every year. Government funding is limited so we must raise over £4 million each year. To all garden owners and visitors we would like to say a big thank you for making this scheme so popular and successful. Your support is invaluable.

Welcome to St Luke’s Hospice 2015 Open Gardens booklet. This year, you are invited to explore 22 varied gardens across Devon and Cornwall.
