Historic Gardens Foundation

The Historic Gardens Foundation is a charitable organisation set up in 1995 for everyone interested in the world's fascinating heritage of parks and gardens. The HGF's network of subscribers links garden enthusiasts of all kinds: visitors, owners, professional gardeners, landscape architects, historians, planners and botanists. Each country has its... own way of enjoying historic gardens and we can all learn from each other. The HGF campaigns for the protection and appreciation of historic parks and gardens, whether they were created for the benefit of aristocrats and princes, merchants and bankers, or ordinary men and women. One way it does this is by awarding prizes to encourage good practice in garden restoration. But its voice is heard most clearly through Historic Gardens Review, the HGF's acclaimed magazine. The Review is written by enthusiasts as well as professional writers and features an intelligent mix of articles on subjects as varied as an old nursery in Naples, a whaler's garden in New Zealand and the royal gardens of Aranjuez in Spain. Historic Gardens Review is also the only publication to comment frankly on whether visiting historic gardens is always a rewarding experience. The Review is only available by subscription. It is complemented by a regular newsletter packed with special offers and garden events. Please join and help to support our work. The HGF receives no public funding.Read More
