We are delighted that many of our gardens in England and Wales are now open. All visitors must pre-purchase tickets on our website for a timed slot at their garden of choice. All funds raised will go to the Help Support Our Nurses campaign. For full details and to see those gardens opening click below.
This week has seen our first Great British Garden Party take place. Since the new “rule of six” came into place on Monday we have seen fundraisers develop ingenious ways to still raise money, including our very own CEO, George Plumptre. George was planning a fundraising party but is now running a Great British Garden Party Raffle instead! Prizes include a 45 minute Zoom consultation with Bunny Guinness, a stunning shrub or tree from Crocus, lunch and two tickets to the Derek Jarman exhibition at the Garden Museum and many more. You can enter the raffle for just £5 to support the work we do.
Host your own socially distanced garden party this September and join The Great British Garden Party to raise funds for vital nursing charities. Whether you choose to host an afternoon tea party, prosecco by candlelight or a plant sale in your front garden, everyone can join in and help raise funds through donations and sales.
Please read our updated guidelines in light of the Government guideline changes.
Enjoy a more personalised garden visit. With these gardens you can plan your garden visit for the day you want and at a time convenient for you.
After many weeks of lockdown many of our gardens are now open. But we know there are many people who are not able to get out and visit and they have particularly enjoyed our Virtual Garden Visits.
“I love the National Garden Scheme which has been the most brilliant supporter of Queens Nurses like me. It was founded by the Queens Nursing Institute which makes me very proud. As we battle Coronavirus on the front line in the community, knowing we have their support is a real comfort.”
