Every garden has a story to tell... our parks are recognised worldwide as an art form.
The AGT assists County Gardens Trusts to hold special research & recording days, lectures and workshops in different parts of the country. The aim is to help anyone interested in how to go about researching a garden or historic park. You do not have to be an expert...
however, attendance will inform and stimulate. You will learn about aspects of landscape and garden design, surveys and maps, famous designers and architects, and family history.
