From 2020 to 2022 The Gardens Trust will be celebrating Unforgettable Gardens
The Gardens Trust campaign for 2020 to 2022 will be celebrating Unforgettable Gardens and what they mean to us, the threats they face, and how we as a county gardens trust can help save them for future generations. Historic parks and gardens are a much-loved part of our shared national story, but these unforgettable gardens are at risk. Gardens and landscapes have always been vulnerable to destruction through neglect, development or mis-management. Now these precious treasures are more at risk than ever, as austerity leads to maintenance cuts and pressures on land for housing increase. The Gardens Trust is on a mission to rescue them.
The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust is hoping to organise a number of events in the next two years which highlight amazing but vulnerable gardens and help in conserving local landscapes under threat. This campaign is still very much in its planning stage but already it has been suggested that we host an exhibition of old garden photographs, offer a memorable outing for families to a public park or garden landscape they may not have visited before, or put together a volunteer group to help look after a local threatened landscape. The Unforgettable Gardens celebration is still in its ideas and planning stage so if you want to be involved or have an idea please contact research@bucksgardenstrust.org.uk
