NGS Gardens To Star On TV

A film crew from Japanese state broadcaster NHK spent June visiting NGS garden openings. The footage will be used in a 90 minute documentary to be shown on Japanese TV.

The crew also spent a day at the NGS Office at Hatchlands, Surrey. NHK have made a donation of £1000 to the NGS in recognition of the assistance given by the following garden owners and County Organisers.
