Scotland\u2019s Gardens: The Scotland\u2019s Gardens Scheme was founded in 1931 to support the Queen\u2019s Nurses Benevolent Fund by opening mainly private gardens to the public on one of more days each year. In 1952 the Gardens Fund of the National Trust for Scotland became a co-beneficiary and a unique feature of the Scheme is that Owners may now select any Registered Charity of their choice to which 40% of the days takings may be allocated. This enables the Scheme to support over 150 further charities each year. The gardens that open for SGS include Scotland\u2019s finest, are mostly privately owned and are normally inaccessible to the public at other times.<\/p>\n

Full details of the Openings are listed in the handbook, \u2018Gardens of Scotland, available from the address below from the beginning of December each year.<\/p>\n
