A GARDEN opening in memory of its former owner raised more than £1,000 for St Catherine's Hospice.
Newdigate resident Doreen Hall died on February 28 and her daughter Penny Graepel decided to open her mother's garden at Green Lane Farm to the public as a venue for a bring-and-buy sale on July 7.
The oak framed barns at Gildings Farm, built by Mrs Hall's husband, were also hired out for the fundraising day.
The event took place from 2pm to 5pm and visitors participated in a bring-and-buy plant and cake sale to raise money for the Crawley hospice where Mrs Hall died.
Mrs Hall often gave money to St Catherine's Hospice herself, as well as to a wide range of other charities over the years.
Mrs Graepel said: "My brother, Chris Hall, and I would like to thank everyone for their exceptional generosity. We know that our mum would have been thrilled at the turnout."
