The National Garden Scheme (NGS) has recognised Bhaktivedanta Manor’s grounds and gardens as high quality. As part of a package, they organise groups of nature lovers to make special visits to privately owned gardens. Hosted by the Manor’s garden team, over 200 members came in one day to enjoy the Manor’s grounds.
The NGS gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their core beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Nursing Institute.
