This Plant Heritage and PlantNetwork training day provides a toolkit for anyone thinking of starting a National Plant Collection, or anyone involved in managing and maintaining a National Plant Collection.
An information and training day introducing garden masterplanning to horticulturists with limited or no experience of garden masterplans or those who wish to refresh in a practical workshop environment.
Conservation Management Plans (CMPs) are valuable tools for developing informed management strategies for historic designed landscapes, and typically include research on a site’s history, development and surviving state, and taken together they form a sizeable body of material on the UK’s designed landscape heritage.
To harness the potential of this information, The Garden History Society maintain a reference list of CMPs and related research for historic designed landscapes. This was made possible with sponsorship and support from English Heritage.
