Although there has been very little activity on the website there has been lots of activity in the garden ! We have been accepted by the National Garden Scheme and are having two Open Days as part of their scheme in 2026; May 2nd to showcase the spring garden and tulips and August 22nd to highlight the hot colours of summer paired with the cool white magnificent Hydrangea Annabelles.

Tea and cakes will be available and plants for sale as well as the garden being open. There is a £5 admission charge which goes to the NGS which supports a large number of charities including Macmillan and HospiceUK. Proceeds from plant sales and refreshments go to the NurtureNature charity. The Open Day runs from 10-4. The garden is looking really lovely at the moment. Please do come if you are free. Your support would mean alot.

The National Garden Scheme has been funding nursing and health charities since 1927, and at the end of the 2025 season they announced donations of £3,875,596 to their beneficiary charities. The donations helped thousands of people living with cancer, Parkinson’s, poor mental health, or the pressures of unpaid caring, by supporting the nurses, health professionals and case workers who care for them. 

The. NGS “approves” gardens to be part of its scheme and we are honoured at NurtureNature to have been approved to be part of the scheme – it is a positive endorsement for all the hard work and planning that has been put into the garden. We are a small team of 3 – working together to make the garden as special a place as possible and somewhere that promotes mental and physical health and welbeing. It has been designed specifically with healing in mind with planting to promote visual, auditory, touch, scent and taste in relation to the planting. It has been a pleasure to have people use it for meditation both in a group and individually and this is something we would like to build up. We will continue to develop workshops with mindfulness, creativity and writing at their core.
