2027 marks the centenary of the National Garden Scheme, a charity that has raised around £80 million for nursing and health causes through people opening their private gardens to visitors. Join celebrated gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh, horticulturalist and designer Arit Anderson, and historian and author George Plumptre as they celebrate a uniquely British institution. From its founding by a group of determined women in memory of Queen Alexandra, to the ever-changing landscapes of stately homes, village gardens and community spaces, this panel explores how the Scheme has reflected both our gardens and society. Expect fascinating insights and anecdotes about well-known gardeners, writers and artists who have supported the charity from Vita Sackville-West, to Penelope Lively and Olivia Laing. A warm, uplifting celebration of a century of green-fingered generosity and a great British success story
