Commenting, National Garden Scheme Chairman Rupert Tyler said: “The contribution of the charities that we support has been increasingly vital. Their reach and impact, in cancer and end of life care, in community health and nursing and in particular areas such as people living with Parkinson’s, is immense and we are proud to be a major long-term supporter of them all.”

There’s still a few opportunities to get out in a garden this year with some of our December garden openings…
By opening your garden, you’re not only giving people a great day out – you’re also raising money to help those in need. In 2022, garden openings meant we could give £3.11 million to our beneficiary charities. What’s more, you’ll join a community of thousands of other like minded garden owners, all passionate about great gardens and raising money for great causes.
Over 550 volunteers support the opening of National Garden Scheme gardens each year. From serving teas to promoting the gardens and manning the gate, there are lots of ways to get involved. And, as Naman Chaudhary explains, it couldn’t be more fun.
When the weather turns why not enjoy a virtual garden visit over the winter months. There are over 180 gardens to choose from; gain inspiration from the comfort of your own home and plan ahead for gardens to explore in 2023.
