Great Gardens, Great Cake Cutting! Ceredigion NGS Gardens collected over £25,000 in 2025 to donate to Nursing and health Charities
The NGS supports Marie Curie, Macmillan Cancer Support, Hospice UK, Carers Trust, The Queen’s Nursing Institute, Parkinson’s UK, National Botanical Garden of Wales Apprenticeships, Maggie’s, Horatio’s Garden, Support for Community Gardens and more!
This delicious cake was enjoyed by the gardeners at our beginning of year gathering last Saturday (7th March). The Lemon Drizzle cake was made by Gill Shepherd who (along with her husband David) opened their three gardens for the NGS 11 times since 1998 at Glanarthen Stores, Cross Inn, Llanon then Bron-y-Graig, Llanon and latterly at Marlais, Ffos-y-Ffin.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH to you, our visitors, and especially to all our gardeners and volunteers who work hard to prepare for openings, serving teas and supervising car parking etc. on the open days.
Each of our gardens is unique and they are all so different. Some have specialist plant collections; others are wildlife gardens or have special features appealing to children (or the child within us!). There are several with historical interest and a couple with unique animals for added delight. All provide a great family day out.
Thanks also to our advertisers who have enabled the printing of the 2026 West Wales Booklet (Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire), our first Bilingual Booklet.
Ceredigion has 21 gardens opening in 2026 (including 7 new gardens), enabling 24 garden Open Days as well as 11 gardens Open by Arrangement for you to organise your own mutually convenient group visit.
We look forward to welcoming you and to continue supporting such essential caring charities
