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, Sunday, 4th June.
I'm writing on the 3rd January, looking out at a grey sky and icy drizzle. In just 6 months time, we will be opening for people like you to come and visit us. We're all looking forward to welcoming you when the weather is warmer, and there are actually plants to see. At present, I've no other details that I can share here. Please come back and look from time to time, as I'll be putting details up news, details of the gardens and information about booking in advance.
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.
I hope that you enjoy your visit to our site. If you want to contact us, please click here.
