After a six-year hiatus Harbour Hospice’s Homes and Gardens Tour is returning. Harbour Hospice Community and Events Fundraiser Emily Thomas says, “We’re thrilled to be bringing it to the community again with a new look and a refresh.”
Around 300 ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive tour of Point Wells’ most beautiful homes and gardens on Sunday 10 November. From contemporary to timeless and traditional, more than a dozen properties will be on show, offering inspiration and a peek into some of the area’s most spectacular residences. “The event promises a real community feel,” says Emily, with the Point Wells Hall to act as a central hub where coffee and food trucks will be set up alongside stalls selling plants and Christmas cakes, silent auctions, raffles and more.
Point Wells couple Mike and Debbie Jones are among those who’ve generously opened their home, with Mike saying, “As we’ve grown older we’ve become so much more aware of the important role hospice has in the community. Most of us know somebody who has been cared for by hospice. This is a great cause to support.”
The couple’s home is a new build, which they completed and moved into about a year ago. Some would describe it as a Cape Cod style home but Debbie, who has worked in real estate for 30 years, says they see it more as an easy-living modern home “with great flow”.
High ceilings and well-proportioned rooms give the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home a comfortable, spacious feel, while the walls display a wonderful collection of art.
Designed by architect, Adrian Robinson, the build was project managed by Mike, who has worked on countless construction sites over the years as a plumber, while their garden was designed by landscape designer Kirsten Sach.
