In order to promote the understanding and conservation of Devon's designed landscape heritage, the Trust seeks to promote the importance of education and careers in horticulture and historic landscape management as well as practical conservation. We can provide advice and mentoring to garden owners, schools and community groups on horticulture and conservation, and to gardeners through the Professional Gardeners' Network and by supporting continuing professional development.
The Trust offers grants to individuals, community groups, schools and garden owners for education, research and conservation. Applications are welcome at any time using our simple application forms after reading the guidance notes for the relevant category.
