Garden Visits

 NATIONAL GARDEN SCHEME

We are extremely proud to be part of the National Garden Scheme, which gives visitors unique access to over 3,600 exceptional private gardens in England and Wales, and raises impressive amounts of money for nursing and health charities through admissions, teas and cake. 

Thanks to the generosity of garden owners, volunteers and visitors the National Garden Scheme has donated over £60 million to nursing and health charities, and made an annual donation of £3.11 million in 2022. Founded in 1927 to support district nurses, the scheme is now the most significant charitable funder of nursing in the UK and its beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Nursing Institute. 

The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity – it is passionate about the physical and mental health benefits of gardens too. The scheme fund projects which promote gardens and gardening as therapy, and in 2017, launched its annual Gardens and Health Week to raise awareness of the topic.

OUR GARDENS

Our gardens extend to two acres including five cut flower gardens brimming with colourful bulbs, annuals, biennials and perennials. Each year we introduce new varieties of flowers and foliage to generate constant interest and surprise. The gardens face south and offer spectacular views down the Limpley Stoke valley.

Other special features include terraced lawns, a box parterre, a small orchard and meadow flowers. The gardens offer a floral experience for garden lovers, artisan florists, flower arrangers and anyone interested in the revival of beautiful, diverse, locally grown, British cut flowers.

Our garden will be opened in support of The National Garden Scheme on Saturday 13th July 2024 and Sunday 14th July 2024 between 10:30am and 4:30pm. Admission price is £5 for adults, children are free and dogs are welcome. There will also be home-made teas and plants for sale. Admission tickets can be purchased at the gate on the day or pre-booked through the National Garden Scheme website at ngs.org.uk.
