Every year in spring , the Mabin family open their huge daffodil fields to the general public where they can pick their own flowers and they are supplied with a bucket. They charge $2.50 per 30 blooms (roughly) all of which is donated to the Plunket Society, which looks after young mothers and their small children. Almost every child born in the country can be called a 'Plunket baby'. The Plunket nurse can provide help and advice to the family, and also sometimes pick up health problems as early as possible. A good cause!

We have the NGS (National Gardens Scheme) here in the UK, or some people know it as the Yellow Book. It's were gardens are open for charity. The NGS supports 8 charities but most of the money goes to Macmillan Cancer Support If you would like to see what charities they support here is a link: http://www.ngs.org.uk/about-us…..aries.aspx. You have to apply to go into the book and they only accept the best private gardens. I don't know if any other countries do anything similar?
