KEEN gardeners in Devizes who want to showcase their efforts and raise money for charity are being urged to join a Dorothy House event.

Zena Robson chairman of Devizes In Bloom said she was not organising an open garden weekend this year but hoped people would still throw open their gates.

Dorothy House needs to know by February 26 if people want to join in but gardeners can choose their own date for their opening any time between May and September.

Volunteers from the hospice in Winsley will offer support. To take part contact Yvonne Brunton, the community fundraiser, on 01225 721480 or email yvonne.brunton@dorothyhouse-hospice.org.uk
