Expert gardening tips will be shared at an event to raise money for a Sussex children’s hospice.
A panel of horticulturalists will answer questions at a special Gardeners’ Question Time event on June 4 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Chestnut Tree House.
The panel will be chaired by BBC Radio Sussex gardening reporter Jean Griffin and include the head gardeners from the grounds of historic buildings Fittleworth House and Parham House.
There will be a light buffet and wine at the evening, which has been organised by Bognor Regis Friends of Chestnut Tree House. Guests will also have the opportunity to buy plants donated by local nurseries and take part in a raffle.
Paula Puleston, long-term volunteer for Chestnut Tree House and member of the Bognor Regis Friends Group, said: “I have volunteered at Chestnut Tree House since 2007 and love every bit of my time spent helping the teams that do such fantastic work both at the hospice and out in the community.
“Without their incredible work and the support of the local community, Chestnut Tree House wouldn’t be able to provide the care and support the children and their families need at a very difficult time in their lives.
“Over the years we have held many events to raise vital funds for the hospice. This year, we’d like to do something exceptional as Chestnut Tree House is 10 years old, and so we have organised an extra special Chestnut Tree House Gardeners’ Question Time.”
Tickets for the event, which starts at 6.30pm at St Mary’s Centre, in Felpham, are £10 per person, which includes a buffet and glass of wine. To purchase tickets contact Paula Puleston on 01243 584 843.
