Open Garden Season

Do you have a beautiful garden that you know other people would enjoy visiting? On a summer's day, host an Open Garden Day for family, friends, and neighbours. By charging a small admission fee or selling afternoon teas you can support people who can no longer enjoy seeing flowers in full bloom. We will provide information on hosting your event and fundraising ideas.

To celebrate the achievements of Louis Braille, you and your colleagues/students are invited to hold a Dress Down Dotty Day at your work place or school. Come to work/school dressed in dots, play dotty dominoes or bake dotty cakes. We will supply Dotty ideas and support materials to help you.
