Since the first opening in 2013, nearly 1,400 visitors have looked round the garden and enjoyed refreshments.

A total of £6,061.93 has been raised and divided between the NGS charities - mainly of a medical nature - and the various projects in Tacloban, Philippines, run through the Rotary Club of Melton Mowbray.

In 2019 the garden will be open again, with an extra evening opening on July 6 when visitors will be able to enjoy live jazz as well as the garden and refreshments.
