Opening up Secret Gardens
If anyone would like to open up their Secret Garden in Onchan, contact Rob Callister, MHK
Onchan is looking to open up it’s Secret Gardens in 2024.
Opening up “Secret Gardens” across the island has become a common feature during the summer months, and in 2024 Onchan could be the next area to open up their “Secret Gardens” to help raise some funds for, Sight Matters and Live at Home.
In order to get the idea off the ground organisers are looking for around 15 to 25 gardens to be open over a weekend, and a provisional date of Saturday 18 and Sunday May 19 already pencilled in.
Rob Callister MHK said: ‘The gardens can be located anywhere within the Village and Parish of Onchan, and I am hoping that we can get a good mixture of private and social housing gardens open next year. A number of Onchan gardens have already signed up, including Government House, and I am extremely grateful to have to support of His Excellence and Lady Lorimer who have agreed to open the Gardens of Government House to the general public on May 18 and 19 next year.
‘Open times to enter the Secret Gardens are normally 11am and 4pm to each day, which will give everyone plenty of time to get around each garden.
‘If anyone would like to open up their Secret Garden in Onchan, contact Rob Callister, MHK email via robcallister@manx.net or his mobile on 457511.
