Glorious Gardens! Millbrook sponsors ellenor

The Millbrook team are proud to announce we're headline sponsor for this year’s Glorious Gardens, organised by Gravesend charity ellenor. 

A key event in the charity’s calendar, Glorious Gardens sees garden lovers across the local area open their gates in support of ellenor’s specialist care for adults and children with life-limiting illnesses. 


This year, 18 beautiful local gardens – from wildlife-filled cottage gardens to historic countryside estates – will take part in the Summer-long event, culminating in a glorious garden party at the hospice’s newly landscaped 'Lunatica' Garden on Sunday, 7th September 2025. 

Visitors can expect more than just flowers when they book a ticket. With Rock Choir performances at three events, plus raffles, refreshments, live piano music and afternoon teas, each garden visit will offer something a little different. 

The next Glorious Garden event takes place on Sunday, 18th May at Grade II listed Manor House in Chalk. Rumoured to have been the honeymoon venue of Charles Dickens, this garden has been lovingly restored by current owners Liz and Peter with the help of their two dalmatians!  

To book your tickets and see the full garden line up, visit the ellenor website.  Make sure to look out for additional gardens being announced soon.


ellenor provides compassionate, specialist palliative care to adults and children across Kent and Bexley – whether at home, in their inpatient ward, or through wellbeing services and support for families and carers. 

Last year’s Glorious Gardens raised over £10,000 for the charity, and the team at Millbrook are delighted to play a part in helping make this year’s event even bigger.  

“We’re thrilled to be sponsoring Glorious Gardens this year. It’s a wonderful celebration of gardens, community spirit and the amazing work ellenor does locally.” Tammy Woodhouse, Managing Director, Millbrook Garden Company

“We’re delighted to welcome Millbrook Garden Centre as the headline sponsor for this year’s Glorious Gardens. This partnership is a wonderful opportunity to bring together those who share a love of gardens, while helping us raise vital funds for the specialist care we provide. We’re excited to see what we can achieve together.” 
Lisa Crossland, Senior Corporate Partnership Officer, ellenor
