1. Number of visitors: It is invaluable for the National Garden Scheme to know visitors numbers. So do please include the number of ALL visitors, including non-paying (e.g children), even if you have to make an estimate.

2. Expenses: We gratefully acknowledge that most garden owners do not claim expenses. Should you deduct expenses from the proceeds received from garden visitors, whenever possible, you should send receipts to your County Treasurer with this form.

3. Donations to local charities: Any donations to other charities must be agreed in advance with your County Organiser and must be included in The Garden Visitor’s Handbook and County Booklets. The charity must have a valid Registered Charity Number.

4. Refreshments/teas and plants provided by other charities: Any donations to other charities must be agreed in advance with your County Organiser. When teas or plants are provided by another charity or income from their sales retained by or donated to a charity, please enter the amount(s) in these boxes.
