With summer now underway, it’s a great time to get out and explore the range of West Sussex National Garden Scheme gardens. Every year garden owners generously offer to open their gardens for the Scheme knowing that the money they raise from the small entrance fee and teas* helps support thousands of people who live with health conditions such as cancer or Parkinson’s, who have poor mental health, or who struggle financially as unpaid carers.
*Some gardens choose to donate tea money to other charities close to their heart.
