We've opened for the National Garden Scheme for the past 4 years - always a daunting prospect, but also so much fun!

Our next opening is on Sunday June 8th 2025 from 11.00 till 5.00! There will be coffee, tea, cakes and probably wine! Entry £5.00 Children free


The National Garden Scheme gives away £millions to nursing and health care charities and they are the largest (or second largest) cumulative donor to Macmillans, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and Carers' Trust. In 2022 The NGS gave away £3,000,000I I have been a Trustee of the NGS since 2010 and Deputy Chairman since 2019 

​When we lived in London I opened our garden for the NGS, but 2021 was the first time we've opened in Wiltshire. I love opening the garden - half the joy of having a garden is sharing it and especially with strangers. Gardening is a great leveller. In a former life I once listened, open mouthed while one of the UK's richest and most beautiful duchesses argued with a craggy old man who had an allotment in South London, about the best variety of potatoes. For me, that said it all! Every time that we've opened so far lots of local people have come and are memories of our house and garden when it was a dairy farm - and each time we've raised about £1,400!.

Below are photos of the garden taken around June.

If you want more details of  how we created the round iris bed and other parts of the garden, you can find them  on the 'project' pages of the website, including this one:
