Join us live or online at the Royal Geographical Society on Tuesday 16th November at 7pm for our annual lecture, ‘My Garden Saved My Life’: Robin Hanbury-Tenison in conversation with Rachel de Thame. Two extraordinary survivors discuss the critical role that gardens played in their recovery: Robin from Covid-19 and Rachel from breast cancer.
The garden at Stonor Park near Henley-on-Thames played host to a very special celebration on Wednesday, 18th August when it opened its gates for a garden visit and afternoon tea for unpaid carers and frontline hospice and hospital workers. The event celebrated 25 years of support and over £21 million in funding from the National Garden Scheme for three of its key beneficiaries: Marie Curie, Hospice UK and Carers Trust.
As part of the competition being run through The English Garden magazine to find the nation’s favourite National Garden Scheme garden, you’ve been busy nominating your most-loved. Now – with 28 shortlisted gardens: four from each of the Scheme’s six regions, along with four public gardens from across the country – it’s time for you to cast your final vote.
