| Dame Mary Berry launches this year's Great British Garden Party, sharing a love of gardens and great causes Dame Mary Berry, President of the National Garden Scheme and the Nation's undisputed Queen of Cakes, is championing the Great British Garden Party as it enters its third, delicious year in 2022.
This major fundraising event, designed by the National Garden Scheme to share the Nation's love of gardens and to raise vital funds for some of the UK's best-loved nursing and health charities, builds on a rich heritage of great gardens, great cakes and great causes.
Speaking about the initiative Dame Mary Berry said: "As President of the wonderful National Garden Scheme, I am delighted to invite you to join me in hosting a Great British Garden Party this year.
"We're inviting everyone - it doesn't matter whether your garden is large or small, tidy or untidy - to join in and help raise funds for vital nursing and health charities; charities that so many of us, our family and friends often rely on in times of need.
"We've been so inspired by previous party hosts and their ingenious variations on the garden party theme, tailoring their events to their outside spaces and to their families and friends. Some simply threw open their garden gates and invited their neighbours for afternoon tea, making new friends. But your garden party could be anything from a barbecue or family bake-off, prosecco by candlelight, a coffee morning and book swap or even a plant and produce sale by the front gate – the choice is yours and everyone can get involved." |
