We will open our own gardens as part of the National Open Garden Scheme, a charity in aid of various caring institutions. Last year, the Whitstable Open Gardens received an amazing 890 visitors who donated a total of £4600 to: Macmillan, Marie Cure, Hospice UK, Carers Trust, Parkinsons, MS and National Autistic Society charities. Members of the public buy a ticket (£4) and can visit ANY of the gardens listed on the date open in the book.
