**The National Gardens Scheme (NGS) raised over £2 million during 2007 for cancer,
caring and gardening charities. The money was raised through the Scheme’s book sales,
garden admission charges and tea, cake and plant sales.**

In the first week of February two of the main charities, Marie Curie Cancer Care
and Macmillan Cancer Support, were presented with a cheque for £500,000 each from
the NGS.

Since its launch in 1927 the NGS has raised almost £40 million for a number of charities,
£22 million in the last 10 years. Donations are unrestricted so charities can apply
the funds as they see fit.
