In 1984 Ravensford Farm was a ruin in a field full of weeds, with one tree. Today it is surrounded by a richly varied garden, a wood, two ponds, orchard, rhododendron dell and extensive flowerbeds. 2024 is our 25th opening for the NGS. Regretfully it'll be our last. We shall continue with By Arrangement visits, so please come for this final opening to celebrate in style as we go out with a bang.
