Summer Gardens 2026

This summer help us raise funds to provide nature-based therapy for children with challenging emotional issues across Kent by opening your garden and enjoying the outdoors together.

Our therapeutic work is embedded in nature, and we believe that having the opportunity to be outdoors is vital to enhancing our wellbeing. Dandelion Time Summer Gardens is a wonderful way to celebrate that.

How it works

There are plenty of ways to get involved – whether it’s hosting a garden party with friends and family, opening your garden to fellow gardening enthusiasts to showcase the fruits of your labour, or simply grabbing a blanket and enjoying a lovely outdoor picnic with colleagues. Turn your idea into an opportunity to raise essential funds for Dandelion Time.

Hold your Summer Gardens event any time between 1st May and 31st August 2026

Step into a garden where nature thrives. This peaceful space is designed entirely with wildlife in mind – from bee-friendly flowers to ponds, wild areas, and fruit-filled borders. You’ll find an abundance of flowers designed to attract and support bees and butterflies, a lawn scattered with wildflowers, and no fewer than three ponds – each playing its part in supporting aquatic life and providing a vital water source for visiting birds and insects.

Wander through areas planted with trees, shrubs, grasses, fruit and vegetables, all grown with nature in mind. Every corner of the garden has something to offer – whether it’s food for pollinators, shelter for small mammals, or a quiet place for visitors to sit and soak in the calm.
