Event Details
The invention and evolution
of the Georgian landscape garden liberated garden buildings from the corset of
formality, allowing them to structure much more extensive areas of garden and
park. One of the leading authorities on Georgian landscape architecture, Roger
White explores a genre in which some of the era’s greatest architects
experimented with different forms, styles and new technology, in the process
producing some of their most interesting and original ideas.
We are a conservation charity working to protect the county's many historic parks and gardens for future generations.
We work with garden owners and local and national bodies to highlight, protect and encourage the conservation and restoration of designed landscapes, ranging from stately homes to public parks, cottage gardens to cemeteries. Principally funded by over 500 members, we run visits, lectures and events where members can share their interest and knowledge in a sociable atmosphere.
Through its research and recording programme, the Trust undertakes and supports research on sites of historic interest, including sites that the Trust has rediscovered, as well as on other related topics. We share knowledge through our Journal and also seek to inspire the gardeners of the future through imaginative projects with schools.
