Open Gardens raises an incredible £1262.08

What can we say? We are truly humbled by the generosity and enthusiasm of all who took part in this year’s Caldecote Open Gardens. To raise over £1200 is a real testament to the energy that went into the event from so many people, and we are very grateful to the garden owners and visitors alike.

We were very pleased to partner with The FairTrade Foundation, holding a stall selling FairTrade goods as part of the Open Gardens. Nearly £140 was raised for this great cause. To find out more about FairTrade, visit www.fairtrade.org.uk. Many thanks to Mary Jenkins for organising the stall, and an especial thank you to Amy, Hannah and Ben for their excellent help running the stall over the weekend.
