Support Us
The National Gardens Scheme opens many gardens to the public, many of which are not normally accessible to the public. Garden visiting in order to raise funds for charity is part of our national heritage which relies on large scale support from the visiting public, individuals, companies and garden owners. The funds raised by NGS are unrestricted which means that the beneficiary charity can use them for projects that are difficult to raise funds for. The NGS continues to increase its charity donations annually.
We are aiming to raise over £2.6 million in 2012 through our gardens and we need your support to help us reach this target.
Ways in which you can help support this unique heritage and increase donations to charity are as follows:-
1. Buy the Yellow Book or give it as a gift.
2. Visit NGS Gardens and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
3. Open your garden with the NGS.
4. Make a donation to support the NGS. You can do this online, by post or at a garden.
5. Become a Corporate Supporter.
6. Remember NGS in your will.
7. Volunteer your time.

Leave A Gift In Your Will To The NGS

The heritage and culture of the NGS is unique in fundraising, not just bringing communities together but also providing consistent income to charities which have increased needs today.
