Support our mission:
Join Devon Gardens Trust and become part of a community dedicated to protecting the landscape heritage that makes Devon so special. Your membership helps safeguard the county's historic parks, gardens and designed landscapes for future generations while supporting the people who care for them today. Together, we champion conservation, influence planning decisions, share knowledge, invest in skills through grants and learning, and connect owners, caretakers and professional gardeners. By joining, you're not only helping to preserve Devon's rich landscape heritage—you'll also gain opportunities to learn, connect with like-minded people and play an active role in ensuring these treasured places continue to inspire and thrive for years to come.
You will also benefit from:
- Priority access to DGT events at a discounted price - many of the Trust's exclusive visits are to private gardens usually guided by the owner or head gardener. Our programme of talks, visits, seminars and conferences explores the diversity of the county's designed landscapes, the history of their development, the families who owned them, the people who designed, shaped and managed them, the gardeners that maintained and tended the plants, the nurseries that supplied those plants, and how the landscapes have been used and enjoyed over the centuries.
- A regular e-News covering news, events and updates on our work.
- DGT Journal - normally published every two years. It comprises articles by DGT members and others which are often the only scholarly researched information on the topics.
- An Annual General Meeting, including a subsidised lunch and exclusive garden visit
- Access to talks and events organised by the Gardens Trust and other County Gardens Trusts.
- Opportunity to volunteer and get involved with the Trust's varied activities.
