Welcome. My name is Ken Ellis, and I am a gardener. I co ordinate the Ely Open Gardens group of the National Garden Scheme. The NGS is a national scheme, dedicated to raising money for charities. This is our local site, run by me, with links to take you to pages that are relevant to us on the NGS national website. I would encourage you to take a look at the national site. If you're taking a break somewhere, you can see if there are any gardens open that you could visit. Often, you would be able to have access to a garden that is normally private. It's amazing what you can find.
Open Garden Day, 12th June.
Well, it's happened now. it was a great afternoon, with huge support from you all and raising a lot of money for the NGS, as well as for three local charities, including Ely Food Bank. The grand total came to £5763 for the NGS, and £790 for the other charities.
We hope that you enjoyed your visit, and hope to see you again next year. A request: if you are willing to share photos that you took, would you share them with us? We'd like to post them on this site, suitably credited, as most of us were too busy to take any! It happens.
By the way, next year's group opening is in the diary for Sunday, 4th June. Hope to see you again.
Would you be like to join us and share your garden with others?
If you live in Ely, and wish to join us, you would be very welcome. Alternatively, do you know of someone with a garden that you could suggest? We welcome gardens of all size and type We're particularly looking for gardens in new properties, as we don't have anyone yet to represent this part of the Ely community. Don't be shy; we're just people with a joyful interest in gardening and a wish to share it with others. If you don't think that your garden is big enough, why not join with your neighbours and enter yourselves as one entry? We'd love to see how creative people can get in relatively small places, both in gardens and shared areas.
Have a look at this page for a slightly whimsical look at what it's like to open your garden. If you want a chat, get in touch with me via the link below.
