Grant Awarded

Oxfordshire Gardens Trust have been awarded a grant of £800, as part of the Gardens Trust’s Community Grant Initiative*.  This is to support the follow-up Research and Recording Pilot Project, building on the impetus from the taster Research and Recording day hosted by the GT in November 2025.

The panel focussed on projects which meet priorities around conservation, sharing knowledge, and encouraging inclusive participation. The OGT Research and Recording project meets The Garden Trust’s desire to seed-fund an activity, and supports core County Gardens Trust work.

*made possible by a generous donation from the Gentian Trust, established by Peter and Rosy Gent, who are members of the Gardens Trust.
