Thank you to everyone who joined us for an Open Garden this year – your generosity has helped us raise a truly phenomenal figure to help our work protecting Cornwall’s heritage. We’re hugely grateful for your support!
We’ve been overwhelmed by the popularity of this year’s events and have welcomed over 1000 visitors across the season.
Our dedicated events volunteers did sterling service helping set up, directing traffic, welcoming visitors, serving cream teas, and so much more, and we would like to thank them for all their hard work! A special mention goes to Keith, our volunteer photographer, who captured fabulous images of the days at Boconnoc, Trevince and Trenarth.
We’re incredibly grateful to Elizabeth Fortescue and the team at Boconnoc House and Estate; Richard and Trish Stone, the owners of Trevince; Jan Trefusis and the Trefusis Estate; and Lucie Nottingham, the owner of Trenarth; for all so generously opening their gates to help raise funds for our work.
We are also hugely grateful to Laurence Jarrett-Ker, the Director and Founder of Soul Farm; printmaker Lou Tonkin; artist and blacksmith Lisa Wisdom; woodturner Jamie Lovekin; basketmaker Lin Lovekin; and pole lathe woodturner Joseph Huggett; for their support in making our event at the Trefusis Estate possible.
Thanks also go to Coodes Solicitors for sponsoring Open Gardens 2024.
