Wareham Rotary is delighted to announce that we sold 216 tickets to our Wareham Rotary Open Gardens event this year (146 sold last year)
All proceeds from our event were again donated to Dementia Friendly Purbeck. This evening, Ann Popperwell from Wareham Rotary presented a cheque for £2,700.00 to Mike Bonfield, Chairman & Mo Andrews, Treasurer of Dementia Friendly Purbeck, in Ann’s garden. Dementia Friendly Purbeck is working to recruit another Admiral Nurse, and Mike said he was overwhelmed by the response and Dementia Friendly was well on their way to reaching their target for an additional nurse.
Ann Popperwell thanked The Priory Hotel and all those who opened their beautiful gardens for us, plus everyone who supported our event by buying a ticket!
Also, of course, those who helped on the day with stewarding, selling tickets, baking cakes, and serving refreshments, and added that we could not have done this without you, a great team event!
If you would like to open your garden for us in June 2026, please let us know.
