Sharing a love of gardens and great causes  

You don't have to open your garden to get involved and help raise money for the National Garden Scheme. Instead you can join our Great British Garden Party fundraiser: gather family, friends and neighbours to share your outdoor space and raise money for some great causes. Your event could be an afternoon tea party, coffee morning, plant sale or prosecco evening - the choice is yours!  And every cuppa poured, cake eaten, plant sold or garden enjoyed will support the wonderful work of Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, Carer's Trust, Parkinson's UK and The Queen's Nursing Institute - all charities supported by the National Garden Scheme.

 

It doesn't matter whether your garden is large or small, a horticultural delight or a children's playground, you can still get involved and have fun!  Take a look at some inspiring stories from supporters who have done just that, below.
