Helderberg Hospice Open Gardens 2024 will take place over the entire weekend of 25-27 October.
This year’s bumper festival includes 15 beautifully curated gardens, activities for children, plant sales, refreshment sales, a pop-up hospice thrift shop, with all proceeds funding our palliative care projects in the community.
Included in this year’s Open Gardens Festival is the Yellow Box for Hospice competition, proudly brought to you by the Cape Honey Bee Conservancy. In commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Lourens and Dylan Kruger from the Conservancy donate all their fees to a very grateful Helderberg Hospice. The father-and-son duo have been dedicated supporters of Hospice for many years and were called to remove an enormous swarm just three days before the 2022 instalment of the Open Gardens Festival. The pair will be at Helderberg Hospice Open Gardens this weekend and would love to discuss their passion for bees with you and spread their message of “saving one bee at a time”.
Robert de Wet, CEO of Helderberg Hospice, said support from people and businesses in the community is invaluable in sustaining the palliative care that Hospice provides. This supports people in the community living with a life-threatening illness.
