You too can play a part from time to time in furthering everyone’s enjoyment and wellbeing, whatever stage of life. By learning more about your local garden heritage and management, or the work of key designers, you will support the conservation of your precious green space and cultural assets: your local parks, gardens, allotments and designed landscapes. You too can support local initiatives such as the creative use of school gardens to seed the gardeners of the future.
Please scroll down to find events in your area – lectures, garden visits, meetings and research days - a plethora of ways to get involved. See also County Gardens Trusts for website and contact details to a gardens trust in your locality to find out membership details and... even more happenings!
