The National Gardens Scheme [NGS]
Founded some 80 years ago, the NGS is a county-by-county scheme whereby hundreds of lovely gardens, many of them private, of great quality, character and interest are opened to the public in aid of charity. The Yellow Book 2008 (£7.99) is available from bookshops or online from the NGS. Wherever possible we have highlighted NGS Open Days in our garden guide.
