National Garden Scheme 100 Year Anniversary - Charity Day 2027

Friday, 14th May 2027

Late night opening until 7pm

2027 marks a very special milestone for both the National Garden Scheme and Ramster Gardens.

​

Ramster first opened its gates for the National Garden Scheme in 1927, the charity’s very first year, and we are proud to be one of only two gardens to have opened for the NGS every year since.

​

To celebrate 100 years of opening for the National Garden Scheme, we will be holding a special NGS Charity Day on Friday 14 May, with extended opening until 7pm.

​

Visitors will have the opportunity to explore our 25-acre woodland garden throughout the day and into the early evening, enjoying the rhododendrons, azaleas and spring planting at one of the most colourful times of year.  The Ramster Teahouse will also be open for refreshments.

​

We hope you’ll join us to celebrate this remarkable centenary and help us continue supporting the National Garden Scheme and the nursing and health charities it funds.
