Stubbings House Garden
Opening May Bank Holiday Weekend for NGS Nursing and Health
Charities
The
National Gardens Scheme (NGS), which organises the opening of
private gardens to raise funds for nursing and health charities,
is delighted to invite visitors to Stubbings House Garden.
Stubbings
House near Maidenhead, Berkshire, is famed as being the home of
Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands during World War 2. The
parkland garden is set around the 18th Century house
and features a large lawn with ha ha, woodland walks and historic
cedars. March is a particularly good time to visit to see the
abundant daffodils.
Stubbings
House has a retail nursery for plant lovers, and other attractions
within the 80 acre estate include an 18th Century
icehouse and access to adjacent National Trust woodland.
Visitors
to NGS gardens will also have the benefit of knowing that their
entrance fee is supporting wonderful causes. Run locally by
volunteers, the National Gardens Scheme donated over £2.6 million
in 2016 to its beneficiary charities, which include Marie Curie,
Macmillan Cancer Support, Hospice UK, and Carers Trust.
