National Plant Collection Gardens

The National Garden Scheme gives visitors access to 70 of the best National Plant Collection Gardens to enjoy.

Your visits and donations to these private gardens raise important funds for Charitable causes across the UK.

Thanks to the generosity of owners opening gardens for free National Garden Scheme was able to raise and donate over £3.4 million to charities last year. We hope to top this in 2024 with more beautiful gardens open for you to visit this year than ever before.
