More Information (V2 Radio is not responsible for external websites)
Visit the NGS garden at Durford Abbey Barn, Petersfield and help 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.
With record donations in 2024 the power of gardens and garden visits for good causes is evident. 2024 was another landmark year for the National Garden Scheme with the charity donating a record £3,501,227 from the 2024 garden opening season. The impact of these donations to our major nursing and health beneficiaries means that 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, have been supported by our funding of the nurses, health professionals and case workers who support them. Our funding has also provided support to those in the Gardens and Health sector along with Community Gardens and supported gardeners through traineeships.
The garden at Durford Abbey Barn, Petersfield
A 1 acre plot set in the South Downs National Park with views of the Downs. Mostly developed over the last 17 years it has distinct areas which include a cottage garden with roses and herbaceous borders, a natural pond, open lawns with mini silver birch woodland and shrubberies, a productive vegetable terrace with espalier apples, a shady vine covered pergola under planted with ferns and shade lovers and a prairie border established in 2015. There are various levels often with seating to take in the surroundings. There are hens in the orchard corner and established fruit trees. We always have a mouth-watering array of home-made cakes and biscuits. The only problem is which one to choose. This year we are also hosting a small art exhibition.
Durford Abbey Barn Petersfield, Sussex GU31 5AU is open for the National Garden Scheme Saturday 21st June and Sunday 22nd June 1.30pm – 5.30pm. Admission £5 children free. Home-made teas. Book in advance on the NGS website or pay on the day
