Summer Glories of the June Garden Month
Gardens of stately homes opened to all in June 1927. The owners or tenants of some four hundred estates took part in the June Garden Month scheme organised by the Women's National Committee of the National Memorial to Queen Alexandra. A fee of one shilling was charged for admission to the gardens. The money raised was partly devoted to the promotion of district nursing, and partly for the erection of a bronze memorial to Queen Alexandra, which can be seen today by the side of Marlborough House
