Diane’s menus contained an intriguing picture of a pretty young girl. The picture, she explained, was of Elsie Wagg, who worked for the Queen’s Nursing Institute and who had the bright idea in 1927 of getting people to pay a shilling a head for the privilege of visiting private gardens. This is how the National Gardens Scheme was born and last year what had begun as a shilling a head produced more than £60,000 in Cumbria alone.
