I love visiting gardens. The more I visit the more fascinated I become. Large or tiny, historic or modern, often in the countryside and sometimes  in a town or city.

How lucky we are to have the National Garden Scheme http://www.ngs.org.uk, a great organisation that combines the joy of garden visiting with charity, and this year it celebrates 90 years of opening private gardens.

My intention is to visit 90 NGS gardens which are new to me. I will record each one here. So please follow my journey by just clicking on the tab which is on the side of this page. You will only receive notification of each new garden as I publish, no junk mail. It is absolutely free, you won’t catch anything and you might possibly enjoy it.
