National Garden Scheme

We are pleased to be opening the garden for the second time this year as part of the National Garden Scheme Regular admission prices apply. There is no need to pre-book.

The National Garden Scheme is a registered charity which opens gardens of quality, character and interest to the public. Since 1927 they have raised funds to support nursing and caring charities, and over £25 million in the last 10 years.

Where does the money go?

All entry fees and 10% of plant sales will be donated to the NGS. All money taken from refreshments on these days will be donated to St Helen’s Church, Stillingfleet.

What will you see?

In September many of the plants are in full bloom with the herbaceous borders looking stunning. Some of the leaves are just beginning to turn and many of the trees and shrubs are bearing fruit, so there will be an autumn feel to the garden. September is also a good time to see  butterflies and other pollinators making the most of the late summer food sources. Look out for red admiral and peacock butterflies as well as bumble and honey bees. You will be able to wander through all the different parts of the garden and gain inspiration for your own garden. Many of the plants you will see are available to buy in our  plant nursery and we can help you choose the right plant for your garden.

The tea room will be open too for drinks and cake. There will also be an art exhibition in the tea room and small locally sourced gifts for sale.
