I don’t normally blog about currently Published Booklets (2024) since my interest normally lies in old historic booklets rather than these contemporary versions. Whilst acknowledging the National Trust is the most famous owner of historic gardens I tend to avoid blogging on these since they are normally very well publicised in both the National Media and Social Media. But here the National Garden Scheme (ngs) is a very unusual setup being founded on the basis of being a charity that has for nearly 100 years, since 1928, based itself on looking to help fund “district nursing” for those in need. It engages with garden owners who are very proud of their gardens and prepared to share them with the General Public to fund the charity. With the current high level of public internet availability many now host Websites or Social Media sites to share their details and most importantly accurately advise on their availability to receive visits.

Use their Website link below to see more information particularly their History and when they are open if you choose to make a visit. :-
