National
Garden scheme Every year NGS gardens across England
and Wales welcomes over half a million visitors. Our tradition
of opening gardens of quality, character and interest is
supported by our Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales and our
President, Zac Goldsmith. Most gardens which open for the
NGS are privately owned and open just a few times each year.
Others are open to the public on a regular or commercial
basis and support the NGS in various ways. Some open as part
of a group which gets the whole community involved |

"Only rarely
does one come across a garden so ambitious and successful as
the one at Veddw House ……this garden combines
all the achievements of a great garden - excellent relationships
between house and garden and between the garden and its surroundings,
a satisfying blend of formality and informality and of wildness
and control, good use of colour and texture, and a distinct
personality." Stephen Anderton, "The
Times" |
