About Us

I am delighted to report that 2009 was another very successful year for the ngs in Gloucestershire with some £100,000 being raised for the charities which the ngs supports (ngs Charities) and those nominated by individual garden owners. Our thanks must go to all garden owners who make their wonderful gardens available for the public to visit. I also very much hope that those who took the opportunity enjoyed their visits and that our unpredictable weather was kind to them.

The 2010 season is now well underway and at the time of writing I am very conscious of the spring sunshine outside of my study window. In fact it is encouraging me to complete this update as quickly as possible to take advantage of the better weather. Spring is a wonderful season in the garden with the fresh colours of the spring bulbs and the newly mown lawn. We have some wonderful spring gardens in Gloucestershire which will give our visitors a very enjoyable afternoon and help to make our winter a distant memory. Please use this website to find a garden near you which will give you the opportunity to enjoy a splendid English spring garden.

I am also pleased to report that we have now been able to find someone to fill our Booklet Co-ordinator and Marketing role on the voluntary team. We welcome Nick Kane to the team and I feel sure he will be a real asset to the ngs in Gloucesteshire.

I wish all garden owners and ngs visitors an enjoyable and successful gardening year.
