PRESS RELEASE

CANVEY ISLAND GARDEN TRAIL SUCCESS

On Saturday 20th July, 11 Canvey Island residents, opened their gardens for the Canvey Island Charity Garden Trail. All gardens were open from 10am – 4pm, with members of the public able to visit all the gardens by purchasing an official programme.

This years’ event raised an impressive £939 for The Yellow Door from the sale of programmes and through the sale of refreshments, plants, and jams, which were available at many of the gardens taking part.

Thanks must be given to all the gardeners that have been generous enough to open up their gardens to the public, and raising funds for a valuable local asset and organisation. Councillor Peter May, Town Mayor of Canvey Island Town Council said “It was wonderful to see so many lovely gardens take part in this year’s event. We were very lucky to have a full day of sunshine, the weather was wonderful. I would also like to thank everyone involved in making the event a success.”

Thank you to all the local businesses and organisations, who sold programmes prior to the event, as well as residents involved in the Garden Trail, the Town Council is grateful for your continued support.

If you would be interested in opening your garden for the 2025 Canvey Island Charity Garden Trail, please contact Community and Events Officer on 01268 683971.
