Even famous parks and gardens can be threatened by
development or neglect.

The Historic Gardens Foundation protests publicly in its magazine and newsletter, and can also write to those responsible for a garden’s plight. Subscribers can receive help for their own campaigns by tapping into the HGF’s interactive network of like-minded people.

The ‘Optimist’ and ‘Pessimist’ pages within our magazine, Historic Gardens Review, draw attention to these issues. A selection of parks and gardens that the HGF has campaigned for - some saved, some still at risk - is profiled here on our website (see links below).
If you know of a park or garden, no matter how big or small, that we could try to help in the Review or online, please contact us at:
