It is good fun especially when it is a private garden open for the National Garden Scheme, and children enter free. We love to snoop, see what lies behind the garden gate and how people are organising their space. Perhaps it’s minimalist or packed with colour. Maybe full of sculpture or wildlife. Quirky or traditional.
Research has proved that gardens are good for health and it is always good to get out and explore. The teas are irresistible. The other great thing is that as well as having a good time, getting inspiration and enjoying great cake your visit helps the many nursing and health charities that so need our help. These our the beneficiaries of National Garden Scheme:
This such a good little App it helps you to find a garden within 50 miles and it is free to download.

Just follow the yellow arrows……….
