Two plant-packed, wildlife friendly gardens open for NGS this week
There are two gardens open this week for the National Gardens Scheme in Shropshire: both have been developed by plant and wildlife lovers who have created wonderful green spaces for humans and wildlife alike - all buzzing with activity in mid May.
Thursday 12th May (2-5pm): "Avocet", Plealey (6 miles SW of Shrewsbury); Cottage-style garden full of abundant planting and lovely places to sit and have tea. Admission: £3.50 for adults, free for children.
Sunday 15th May (2-6pm): Guilden Down Cottage, Clun; opening for the first time for NGS; one acre organic garden with the emphasis on colour and wildlife. Admission: £4 for adults, free for children; refreshments available.
Visitors to National Gardens Scheme gardens will have the satisfaction of knowing that their entrance fee is supporting valuable causes, as monies collected at the garden gate go to NGS beneficiary charities, including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Hospices UK and the Carers Trust as well as many other vital nursing and caring charities such as Parkinsons UK and the MS Society. In 2015, NGS donated £2.73m to these causes.
Just click on the link above for a full list of all the Shropshire gardens open for NGS this year. Details of all NGS garden openings can also be found at www.ngs.org.uk. Alternatively, for a FREE leaflet on all Shropshire NGS openings in 2016 contact: allison.walter2@btinternet.com.
