Notes from the Gardens Trust website:
It’s been another fantastic year where volunteers from the Gardens Trust and County Gardens Trusts have been working tirelessly to help protect, conserve and promote historic parks and gardens.
Each year we invite nominations to recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions of volunteers who make a difference to the day to day running of their County Gardens Trust or the Gardens Trust, are involved in research and conservation or who have reached new audiences to encourage interest in garden history.
We’re incredibly pleased to announce the nominees of our 2024 Volunteer Award below.
