Following our merger with the Cornwall Gardens Trust in 2024, we have established a Historic Gardens Committee to enable garden conservation and research to continue.
Nationally, The Gardens Trust is the statutory consultee for development projects and planning applications that could impact on sites within the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England. In Cornwall, the CGS Historic Gardens Committee is The Gardens Trust’s local representative and plays an important role in protecting the county’s garden heritage.
It also organises research into Cornwall’s designed parks and gardens. So far, 85 records have been lodged at Kresen Kernow, forming part of the county’s archive of important garden heritage. As gardens are always changing and developing, we recognise contemporary garden and landscape design as well.
These lectures are free for CGS members. Non-members are welcome to attend to find out more about the Society and donations are gratefully received.
