By giving to the National Garden Scheme, you’re supporting some of the UK's best-loved nursing & health charities. Making a donation is a wonderful way to support our work or remember someone who loved visiting National Garden Scheme gardens or gardening. In 2024, together we donated £3.5 million.

Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Times;"> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">Ralph gardened all his life and it was his great love. He spent as much time as possible out of doors working on the garden in Cottesmore, and for many years had been self-sufficient. He became especially interested in daffodils and exhibited in Oakham, Birmingham and occasionally in London.</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">He asked for the simplest send off but wanted to help gardeners and those who were devoted to gardens.</p> </p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">Thank you for remembering him. Your donation will help not just gardeners across the country but <a href="http://www.ngs.org.uk/about-us/beneficiaries.aspx" target="_self">a long list of charities and beneficiaries</a>.</p> </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
