Hertfordshire Gardens Trust

Registered Charity 1010093

The trust is much concerned with the preservation of the county of Hertfordshire’s historic landscape where, as described later in the website, we have good relations with all the district councils. Research, we believe, is vital to the understanding of the county’s history and much of the Trust’s work has been published for wider circulation. Here we have a strong connection with the County records office. As important comes the work with the county’s primary schools where we continue to get an excellent response. We run a popular programme of outings, lectures and fund raising events. The Trust’s work is all carried out by volunteers: the membership is growing.

From the President:

After the success of the twentieth anniversary year in 2011, it is impressive that the pace of the Hertfordshire Gardens Trust has not slackened. On the contrary, all departments are flourishing and alongside serious work there is much to look forward to in the 2013 programme of events. I would like to thank our Chairman very much for leading the Trust so ably during this year and indeed many other years in the past.
