National Gardens Scheme Gardens and Health Week 2025

This week is an exciting one for horticulture! Its the National Garden Scheme Gardens and Health Week! ⁠Each year the National Garden Scheme (NGS) Gardens and Health Programme raises awareness of the physical and mental health benefits of gardens and gardening for everyone, and of the importance of healthy gardens to wider biodiversity. ⁠
⁠
The dedicated Gardens and Health Week, celebrated in 2025 from 3rd-11th May, highlights the NGS’ work to promote gardens and health throughout the year. The NGS links service users from its beneficiaries with free garden visits. You can find out lots more about the NGS’ work by visiting their website ngs.org.uk.⁠

Our partnership with the National Garden Scheme is supporting trainees to take part in the Historic and Botanic Training Programme.

Gardening brings many mental and physical health benefits.
