National Garden Scheme announces Northern Ireland open days in partnership with John Minnis

The National Garden Scheme has unveiled the private Northern Ireland gardens set to open to the public later this year in partnership with sponsor, leading estate agent John Minnis.

Visitors to each of the beautiful gardens opening in Northern Ireland will contribute to the provision of much needed funding to charities supported by the National Garden Scheme, including Macmillan, Marie Curie, Parkinson’s UK and Hospice UK.  

Trevor Edwards, Area Organiser, National Garden Scheme Northern Ireland commented:
“We are hugely excited to reveal our plans for this year’s National Garden Scheme Northern Ireland, and to announce that John Minnis Estate Agents has joined us as official sponsor.

“2022 saw the launch of the very first National Garden Scheme here in Northern Ireland, and we were pleased to have received a fantastic response from visitors across the region who helped us to raise an
amazing £30,000 for our designated partner charities.

“The support of local businesses is invaluable to organisations like ours, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming visitors to some of Northern Ireland’s most impressive gardens and to be working
in partnership with John Minnis to build on this previous success.”

The National Garden Scheme gives visitors unique access to over 3,500 exceptional private gardens in Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Guernsey, including Old Balloo House and Barn in Killinchy.

John Minnis, of John Minnis Estate Agents which has branches in Bangor, Belfast, Comber, Donaghadee and Holywood, added:

“At John Minnis, we’re committed to lending our support to the local community while showcasing wonderful places across Northern Ireland, and partnering with the National Garden Scheme provides the
perfect opportunity to do this.

“Northern Ireland is home to some truly spectacular private gardens, and it is wonderful to be involved in a scheme which not only offers members of the public the opportunity to experience these
spaces for themselves, but also raises funds for a variety of very worthy causes.

“A huge thank you and congratulations must go to all who take part and take the time to nurture these beautiful gardens. They really are fantastic and I would certainly recommend visits to see for
yourself, whilst supporting these excellent charities.”
