Young Hospital Auxiliary’s major fundraising event, the Open Gardens Day 2025, is on Sunday, the 2nd of November.

Five gardens will open their gates to visitors from 10am to 5pm.

President of the Young Hospital Auxiliary, Janice Ward, expressed her gratitude to the five local gardeners who volunteered to share their gardens.

“The five garden owners are supporting the Auxiliary to raise funds in order that needed equipment can be purchased for the benefit of the patients.”
