Welcome

---

I would like to welcome you to the Berkshire Gardens Trust web-site. We were the last of the County Gardens Trusts to be founded, and feel very proud of being ‘the last piece in the jig-saw’. We are proud too of the rich heritage of historic parks and gardens, which we have here in the Royal County of Berkshire, and aim to identify, protect and promote this valuable heritage. As you explore our web-site, I hope you will enjoy reading about our many activities and interests and that you will decide to become a member.

The Trust runs an anuual programme of gardens visits, talks, seminars and lectures.It has also initiated projects in which members can participate, such as cataloguing the important gardens and parks in the County, and practical work to restore and conserve gardens for the benfit of our community. There is a great deal happening, and much for members to become involved in and to make a contribution.

Berkshire Gardens Trust is well worth supporting!

Chairman of Berkshire Gardens Trust
