About National Garden Scheme
The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Channel Islands, and raises impressive amounts of money for some of the UK’s best-loved nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake. Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, in 2022 we made a record donation to our beneficiary charities of £3.11 million helping for instance to support thousands in need of community nursing, end of life care and respite from their unpaid caring duties. Founded in 1927 to support district nurses, we are now the most significant charitable funder of nursing in the UK with Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, Parkinson’s UK, The Queen’s Nursing Institute and Carers Trust being some of the main beneficiaries.
The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity – we are passionate about the physical and mental health benefits of gardens too. We fund projects which promote gardens and gardening as therapy, and in 2017, we launched our annual Gardens and Health Week to raise awareness of the topic. Our funding also supports the training of gardeners and offers respite to horticultural workers who have fallen on difficult times. For details of how donations are spent please refer to the Impact Report 2022 – an online version can be found at bit.ly/NGSImpactReport22
