Open your garden in Marple for Cancer Research UK!

A group of Marple gardening enthusiasts have got together to organise an "Open Gardens in Marple" event in July 2018, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.

Currently the group are seeking people living in the Marple area who are interested in opening their gardens to the public over the weekend of Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July 2018. We are seeking expressions of interest at the moment, not a firm commitment, so if this is something you think you may enjoy and would like to find out more then please let us have your details:

Name:, Address:, Telephone:, Email address:

Please send your details or your enquiries to opengardensinmarple@marple-uk.com

If you don't want to open your garden but would like to help, please let us know that too.

These key points may help you to decide if this is for you but please get in touch if you have other questions:
  • If you're passionate about your garden and your friends and family tell you how lovely it is, then it's very likely other people will want to visit your garden too. Size doesn't matter!
  • Gardens can be opened on Saturday 7th July only, Sunday 8th July only or both days.
  • The boundary for the event is Marple as defined by the Marple Neighbourhood Plan. So if you live within the boundary shown on this map (below) your garden is eligible.
  • We would like to have clusters of gardens all over Marple, so if this is of interest to you please have a word with your neighbours too and think about opening your gardens together. This could make it a great social event for your own neighbourhood as well as being part of the wider whole.
Please let us have your expressions of interest as soon as you can!

Initial plans to Open Gardens in Marple next year on 7th and 8th July are taking shape.

Provisionally, we so far have owners who are interested in opening their gardens in the following areas:
In addition, we've agreed that Marple Memorial Park will form a central hub for the event.

We need more gardens to open in Marple anywhere within the Neighbourhood Plan area shown in the previous post.

Look out for a series of articles in the Review Newspaper Christmas issue and Spring and Summer next year too.

If this is of interest to you and you'd like further information please get in touch via opengardensinmarple@marple-uk.com (opengardensinmarple@marple-uk.com)

At last night's Marple Area Committee Open Gardens in Marple was awarded £700 from the committee's Flexibility Funding towards the costs of putting on the event.

Well done to chair of the group Mary Hoult for inspiring the committee to give £200 more than asked for and thank you to Marple's Councillors for supporting what looks like being a brilliant summer event. Don't forget there is still time to get involved, either by opening your Marple garden too, or volunteering to help over the weekend of 7th and 8th July.

There's a great way that local people can support Open Gardens in Marple!

If you live in Marple, care about cancer and love flowers, you can be part of Marple’s support for Cancer Research UK with flower power in your front window or front garden! This simply involves displaying a pot, tub or hanging basket planted with flowers in any combination of the charity’s distinctive colours - bright pink, dark blue, light blue, purple and white.

To help with this project, we will be holding a PLANT SALE in aid of Cancer Research UK, selling a variety of professionally-grown bedding plants in the charity colours. This is on Saturday 9th June between 12noon and 3pm in The Railway car park at Rose Hill. We will also be at Marple Carnival and selling plants at Marple's Cancer Research UK Shop in the weeks leading up to the event.

Your community in Marple is caring about cancer with flower power – do join us.
