For Gardens Trust and County Gardens Trust Members
Friday 6th December 2019, 10.30am-4.00pm
The Spielman Room, Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bath Road, Bristol, BS4 3EW
Join us at the wonderful Grade II* Registered Arnos Vale Cemetery for an opportunity for Gardens Trust and County Gardens Trust members to meet each other and discuss ideas, skills and questions. The Agenda will allow for discussions on CGT experiences of Conservation, Outreach and Research & Recording. Highlight speaker, Dr Ros Delany, Chair of Avon Gardens Trust, will describe some of AGT’s recent work with conservation and community.
Meet Ups are free to attend and are open to all members of any CGT and the Gardens Trust, no matter where in the country they are held, and no matter the attendees’ current level of involvement with their local gardens trust. A friendly and informal atmosphere encourages all to join in.
Come and learn more about the varied and valued voluntary work undertaken by CGTs.
