Ashby Open Gardens 2024
Ashby Open Gardens, August 3rd and 4th, was a delight this year. The weather was dry and warm so it was pleasant to saunter round. Each garden large or small looked so beautiful and lovingly cared for by their owners. There were a range of gardens, some with water features, which combined vegetable growing with flowering/foliage shrubs and colourful flowers. Some gardens offered plants for sale which was clearly popular.
We are again most grateful to the organisers of Ashby Open Gardens for having Bright Hope in North West Leicestershire as one of their chosen charities.

**UPDATE - 21st August **
We were thrilled to hear from the Ashby Open Gardens organisers that an amazing £5,000 was raised over the weekend by 675 visitors!! The money raised has been equally divided between ourselves and the Air Ambulance Service. Our sincere thanks go to the organising committee and everyone who purchased a passport to this wonderful event.
