Swanmore open gardens event returns to Meon Valley for two good causes
The Swanmore Open Gardens event returns this Saturday and Sunday (July 17 and 18) and it will be raising money for Rowans Hospice a hospice that offers specialist palliative care to those with life-limiting illnesses, and for St Barnabas, the Church of England parish church of Swanmore.
Eileen Jayne-Wood, Rowans Hospice hon. support group chairman for Southwick-Boarhunt-Meon, said: ‘It is a wonderful feeling as things move forward from the Covid-19 lockdown to announce at last a two-day open gardens fundraising event in support of Rowans Hospice and St. Barnabas, Swanmore.
