National Gardens Scheme in Hampshire April/May Newsletter
IN HAMPSHIRE
The Hampshire National Garden Scheme Booklet is now beginning to make an appearance in some outlets in and around our towns and villages. Regretfully some garden centres do not feel that they can stock the booklets at this time. If your are unable to track one down, we now have an e-book, with all the information and even photo’s for all the gardens. It is just a click away:-
- previously we had produced the booklet in pdf format, but we are very excited with the new e-book and the simplicity of it.
Currently……. From now until 16th May visitors must pre-book their tickets. From 17th May pre-booked tickets are not essential, but available. But please check for cancellations or times changes at ngs.org.uk
