Gardens Trust Careers Network

The Gardens Trust Careers Network was set up in 2026 for anyone with an interest in exploring opportunities within garden history and the historic designed landscape sector.

We currently have more than 90 members from the UK and internationally, who come from a wide variety of backgrounds including those already in and outside of the historic designed landscapes sector, as well as volunteers, students, career changers and business owners.

Our network is currently free and open to anyone at any stage of their career – so please consider joining us!


Members meet online quarterly, where they hear from guest speakers across the sector, learn about professional development opportunities and network with each other. Our next meeting will be taking place on Monday 28th September at 18:30.

Donors and Partners

We are immensely grateful to have received funding from the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust, English Heritage and the Gentian Trust, established by Peter and Rosy Gent. Their support has made the launch of our Careers Network possible.

How you can help

If you would like to help support our network you can make a donation here or please get in touch with Engagement Officer frankie.taylor@thegardenstrust.org to discuss other ways you might be able to support our members.

We’d especially like to hear from organisations who can offer support, guidance, mentoring, tours or other professional development opportunities for our members.
