National Garden Scheme Essex

National Garden Scheme Essex Beautiful private gardens in Essex which open to raise money for the National Gardens Scheme From mid February through to late November there are gardens open.

Across Essex are some beautiful, privately owned gardens whose owners throw open the garden gate to welcome members of the public for a small fee. this money, together with money raised from the sale of refreshments, plants and other items goes to support caring charities. The main four charities supported are : Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Hospice UK and the Carers Trust. La

rge gardens, small gardens, formal gardens, exotic gardens, wildlife gardens, gardens with stunning views. Simply something for everyone, all with great ideas for your to copy and with very knowledgeable owners only too keen to pass on advice. Oh and also wonderful home made cakes and cups of tea! Several also open by appointment for groups and some offer lunches too. To boost our income Essex NGS also offer a talk about the scheme and our wonderful gardens for groups such as the W.I. U3A and Horticultural groups. In 2022 we were delighted to raise over £161,000.
