Garden Party - National Garden Scheme

Gardens, allotments, and balconies became havens for  millions of people during lockdown. Whether expert plantsperson or gardening for the first time, gardens have provided relief from stress and anxiety, an opportunity to be more self-sufficient and a love of nature.

During the week of 14th – 20th September, we’re asking everyone to host an event in their garden and join The Great British Garden Party to raise funds for vital nursing charities. It’s a wonderful opportunity to share your own outdoor space, large or small, with friends, family, and neighbours.

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.

Why are we doing this?

All funds raised will help fund vital nursing charities, ensuring critical support for nurses who remain on the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic and who need our help more than ever. Whether you raise £5 or £500, every pound will make a real difference to people’s lives.

Register your interest in hosting an event below and we will send you a free garden party fundraising pack full of ideas and inspiration on how to make your event a great success.

Fundraising packs will be available from August 10th.
