Candide is proud to support the National Garden Scheme and the wonderful work they do to support some of the best-loved nursing and health charities in the UK.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the National Garden Scheme to close its garden gates for the first time in its history, leaving a shortfall in funding for its beneficiary charities. As the single largest funder of Marie Curies work, the longest standing partner of Macmillan Cancer Support and a key funder for Hospice UK, Carers Trust, Parkinsons UK and The Queens Nursing Institute this shortfall has had a major impact.

To help make up some of this shortfall in donations, Candide partnered with the National Garden Scheme to create this virtual tour of Chilworth Manor, which opens its garden for the National Garden Scheme.

Head Gardener, John MacRae-Brown takes us on a fascinating guided walk around the gardens giving you a unique insight into one of the most romantic gardens in the South East; its heritage, horticultural delights and hidden treasures.

We hope that you enjoyed your virtual visit and that you will donate generously. Whatever you can give will make a significant difference to the National Garden Scheme and the nursing and health charities which they support.

Thank you
