Fundraising for The National Garden Scheme

NGS, 17 March 2021
For 94 years the National Garden Scheme has opened gardens to raise funds for nursing charities. In 2020 our gardens closed for the first time ever, resulting in an 85% drop in garden income - just as our beneficiaries need our help more than ever.

Story

THE Gardening WEBSITE is all about gardens and so it is a very natural link to encourage people to enjoy their own and other peoples gardens which voluntarily open in support of NGS and help so many worthy charities and causes.

The National Garden Scheme has been inviting people to open their gardens to raise funds for nursing and health charities for more than ninety years. During that time, we have given away nearly sixty million pounds. And at no time have the gardens ever had to close not even during the Second World War. That is until now. Right now, and possibly for many months to come, people are not able to visit the gardens and there is no money being raised. In fact, as things stand, our income is likely to be down by 80% during 2020. And this comes at a time when our core beneficiaries including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queens Nursing Institute need our support the most, as they are stretched to the limit by their involvement in the current crisis. For many we are their largest cumulative funder. So please, if you can, show your support by making a donation. Thank you for your generosity
