National Garden Scheme
Beneficiaries
Â
Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, the National Garden Scheme has donated £58 million to charity since 1927.
Originally set up to support district nurses, the National Garden Scheme is now the largest single funder of nursing and caring charities in the UK. 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 2019, we donated £3 million from funds raised at our gardens – almost double the £1.6 million donated ten years ago – and a huge 80p in every £1 goes straight to our beneficiaries. Read about the charities we support below, and find out more about our bursaries and apprenticeships and how to make an application.
Dear Blogger
BROWNHILL HOUSE GARDEN

With your support we can reach our target of raising £50,000 over the last 35 years. If the dates below are not suitable for your to visit, please note WE WELCOME VISITORS BY ARRANGEMENT IN MAY, JUNE and JULY
Described by another local gardener:-
"It's only right that everyone in the parish should know what treasures we have on our own doorstep".
There is such a variety of features in this 2 acre garden that we call it the smallest stately home garden in the world! If you have not been to the garden recently you will find there have been many changes in the last three years. Some beds have been completely re planned and re planted and last winter, due to the gardeners getting older, we have created several new seats where you can sit and enjoy the wonderful view across the Perry valley with tea and cake!
OPEN FOR THE NATIONAL GARDENS SCHEME - see attached list of beneficaries
I am attaching a flyer about the garden - why not print all three, keep one and give the other two to your neighbours.
NUMBER 5 CHURCH STREET, is opening for the NGS for the first time this year on 16th June. Please support another local garden.
