Tickets are now available for the Gardens Trust’s annual Historic Landscapes Assembly, which will be taking place online, during three ‘Assembly Afternoons’ on 15th, 17th and 19th November. We have a fantastic line-up, with speakers from the GT, county gardens trusts and from national organisations across the historic landscapes sector.
The Assembly is a not-to-be-missed forum for anyone – volunteer, researcher, owner or professional – with an interest in the history, enjoyment and conservation of our fantastic historic parks, gardens and other designed landscapes.
Tickets, which cover all three sessions, are free for Garden Trust and County Gardens Trust members (this includes Buckinghamshire) and only £5 for non-members.
