A garden festival will be held in the private gardens of Bere Mill in Whitchurch this June.
The Hampshire Country and Garden Festival is organised by the Hampshire-based charity The Hampshire Medical Fund.
The festival includes an annual weekend of events that begins with an adult Saturday evening drinks and supper auction on June 26 followed by an all-day family festival on Sunday (June 27).
Hampshire Medical Fund raises fund for the NHS hospitals of Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover to purchase cutting-edge equipment which wouldn’t otherwise be funded.
A spokesperson said the festival celebrates the benefits to health and wellbeing of gardening for all ages, healthy eating, inspirational speakers, learning new creative skills, enjoying music, plus a huge array of children’s activities.
“The festival showcases all that is great about Hampshire, from food and drink suppliers to music, workshops and demonstrations, plant experts and nurseries.
“The fundraising focus for 2021 is to support the Neonatal departments of Basingstoke, Winchester and Andover hospitals by purchasing a new resuscitaire machine at a cost of £11,000 each for each hospital.”
