Nearly 200 visitors enjoyed the first open gardens day of the 2022 season at Abbey House Manor, Malmesbury on Saturday 14 May, welcomed by the new Mayor of Malmesbury, Kim Power and Abbey House Manor owners, Kim and Whit Hanks. Ticket sales raised just over £1000, with all proceeds for the entire 2022 season going to Malmesbury Carnival for onward distribution to local charities.
Owners Kim and Whit Hanks commented “We’re thrilled with the response to the first open day and to be able to support local charities while visitors were able to enjoy this exciting chapter in the journey of Abbey House Manor Gardens. We would like to say a huge thank you to the many volunteers who helped make this and future open days happen, and we thank our fantastic gardening team at Graduate Gardeners.
