Who are we?
Basically, we're people who garden. There will be many reasons for this - in our case, we took on the garden where we live, and it has grown with us through many incarnations to what it is now.. To my knowledge, most of the gardeners have no qualifications, other than that they have a love for gardens, and an interest that has gone down whichever of the many paths in the garden that they have chosen to follow.
The one thing that we all have in common is the wish to share the joy that our plots bring to us with other people. Doing it within the framework of the NGS means that we can pass some of that joy on through the money that we raise on 'The Day'.
As you walk round the gardens, you'll find the interests of the gardeners reflected in many ways; a raised bed here, alpine plants in a corner there, and maybe a collection of specific plants that have caught the imagination of somebody. Please seek out the gardeners, and talk to them (us). The one thing that I've discovered about being a member of the gardening fraternity, is that there is nothing that gardeners like to do more than to share what expertise they have, and to talk about gardening.
So. if you are able to join us on June the 12th this year, don't be shy or think that your question is isn't worth asking, don't be shy. We'd love to talk to you.
Details of the gardens opening can be found on the NGS website below.
