Beneficiaries

Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, the National Garden Scheme has donated over £70 million to some of the UK’s best-loved nursing and health, and gardening charities since 1927.

Originally set up in 1927 to support district nurses, the National Garden Scheme now raises millions of pounds for nursing and health charities each year. We also support charities doing amazing work in gardens and health, grant bursaries to help community gardening projects and support gardeners at the start of their career.

In November 2023, we donated £3,403,960 from money raised at our garden openings during the year.  You can read about the charities we support below.
