Hertfordshire Gardens Trust

Hertfordshire Gardens Trust is an organisation that makes a difference in both the historic environment and in environmental education. We work in partnership with English Heritage, The Garden History Society, The Royal Horticultural Society and Hertfordshire County Council – both the Environment Department and Children, Schools and Families.

For the past eight years we have invested almost £50,000 in Hertfordshire schools through grant aid, three competitions, videos giving advice and guidance on best practice and a regular annual series of free In-Service Training Days for teachers and governors, held in historic landscapes and recognised by the Learning and Skills Council as Continuing Development Placements. The first of this academic year’s INSET days for Primary Schools was held on Friday 7th November 2003 at Benington Lordship, Nr. Stevenage.
