Devon Gardens Trust is a conservation and education charity working to protect and record Devon’s historic parks, gardens and cemeteries. We give advice to garden owners and national bodies on planning and other conservation issues. We offer bursaries to horticultural students as well as grants for restoration projects and to carry out research. We research and record locally significant landscapes. We arrange visits to gardens and organise talks and events for members.
