NHS WORKERS GIVEN FREE ACCESS TO RHS GARDEN BRIDGEWATER TO CELEBRATE NHS 75

From Wednesday 5 – Tuesday 11 July 2023, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is offering all NHS workers free admission to RHS Garden Bridgewater, to thank them for their work and to celebrate the NHS’ 75th anniversary.

NHS employees will be given free access to the garden from Wednesday 5th July, the official day of the NHS’ 75th anniversary, until Tuesday 11th July, when they present their staff ID badge at the welcome desk. No advance booking is required.

Helena Pettit, RHS Director of Shows and Gardens, said:

Inviting NHS staff to our RHS Gardens free-of-charge is just a small way for us to thank them for all the amazing work that they do. We hope as many NHS workers as possible are able to take up the offer and will enjoy some time away from work surrounded by plants and nature.

 

The RHS and NHS are long-standing partners and most recently teamed-up to develop gardens in hospitals around the UK for NHS staff and patients. Last year, the first ‘NHS Wellbeing Garden’ opened at University Hospital Lewisham.
