The National Garden Scheme

by | Aug 1, 2024 | Articles

Have you heard of the National Garden Scheme? 

It happens annually around the UK. Private gardens open up to the public, and like-minded gardeners can peruse plants and garden designs for a small donation, which goes towards local charities. 

It’s a great way to raise money for good causes whilst getting gardening inspiration from other gardeners. Tea and Cake also feature! 

Once again, WOOL SHrED was invited to participate in the Mid Sussex / East Sussex National Garden Scheme at a garden in Chailey. The garden owners promote the use of sheep fleece/wool in their gardens. This is the third year WOOL SHrED has been involved. 

A percentage of WOOL SHrED sales over the two days goes to the chosen charity.  

It’s a great way to meet fellow gardeners and chat all things horticultural over a cuppa and a piece of cake. Look out for the yellow NGS signs where you live, and venture out into someone’s open garden for growing tips and advice.
