In 2020 the National Garden Scheme donated £2.88 million from funds raised in our Welcome to Sussex Gardens, and welcome also our new joint County Organisers for West gardens. These donations provided critical support to nursing and health charities in a year Sussex, Meryl and Maggi, who have bravely taken on this voluntary role. of crisis, and supported charities doing amazing work in gardens and health. After the challenges of 2020, we are all looking forward more than ever to opening our gardens in Macmillan Cancer 2021 and hoping for some return to normality. Certainly our garden owners are full of enthusiasm as Marie Curie Hospice UK Support £425,000 £425,000 they have shown in the numbers opening. However, we have to prepare for possible disruption and £425,000 restrictions which might be imposed at short notice. If this happens our website will always carry the most up to date information about all gardens. www.ngs.org.uk The Queen’s Carers Trust Parkinson’s UK We are delighted that so many gardens are listed in this booklet, with over 200 private gardens £340,000 Nursing Institute £157,500 £370,000 ranging from rolling acres to small urban gardens, while there are also fascinating groups and allotments. It is thanks to the generosity of our Garden Owners who work so hard to get their gardens ready to open their gates and share them with you, thus raising valuable funds for the Mind Horatio’s Garden Maggie’s nursing charities shown opposite. £80,000 £75,000 £100,000 There is always a warm welcome and usually tea and delicious home-made cakes; a bonus at many gardens is the plant stall, often with plants propagated by the owner.
