Thanks for taking the time to visit the Meet @ Malvern JustGiving page, where garden bloggers are raising funds for the National Gardens Scheme leading up to their get together at Malvern Spring Show 6-9 May 2010. Joe Swift has sent us the following message:
The National Garden scheme is simply the most wonderful charity for garden lovers. It's so simple- The NGS annual publication 'The Yellow book' contains around 3,600 gardens up and down the country which open when they are at their peak. The average price is £3 for a garden visit, which I think is extremely good value and most of them also put on fabulous teas with home made cake, adding possibly the most important element to the days experience! The NGS is the biggest single fundrasier for MacMillan and Marie Curie and it just goes to shows what can be achieved when garden lovers pulls together.
As you all know blogging is an immediate and extensive form of communication so I want all you garden bloggers out there to do your bit and spread the word of the NGS. Try and get all your readers to visit at least one yellow book this year and hopefully we can rasie more than the staggering £2.5 million which was raised last year.
Blogtastic.
Thanks so much
Joe Swift (NGS President)
