Jekka's Open Day - Supporting The National Garden Scheme
Jekka's Herbetum
We’re excited to welcome you to our August Open Days, which we’ve divided into two sessions each day:
Morning Session (9am–12pm):
Garden Tour at 9:30am
Herb Talk with Jekka at 10:30am
Afternoon Session (1pm–4pm):
Garden Tour at 1:30pm
Herb Talk with Jekka at 2:30pm
These days are a wonderful opportunity to visit the Herb Farm, explore Jekka’s Herbetum and Herb Garden, and meet our knowledgeable team, who will be on hand to help with plant purchases and offer guidance for your own herb-growing journey.
We’ll also be joined by the Woodland Trust, who will have an information stand. And of course, our café will be serving homemade cakes and herbal teas!
We’ve proudly supported the National Garden Scheme (NGS) for the past 10 years. This year, we’re dedicating Saturday 2nd August to raising funds for this incredible cause, with all ticket proceeds going directly to the NGS and the charities they support.
The NGS opens the gates to over 3,500 gardens across the UK, raising funds for vital nursing and health charities through admissions, teas, and cake. Since its beginnings in the early 1900s, the NGS has raised over £74 million, including over £3.5 million in 2024 alone. Their core beneficiaries include Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK, and The Queen’s Nursing Institute.
They are also passionate advocates for the physical and mental health benefits of gardening, offering grant bursaries to support community gardening projects.
Help us support the incredible work of the NGS by joining us on Saturday 2nd August.
