Volunteer groups across the UK have until mid-October 2026 to apply for grants of up to £10,000 to help seed-fund projects that will improve, enhance, and support historic designed landscapes
The Gardens Trust’s Community Grants Programme supports both capital and revenue costs related to historic designed landscape projects. Priority will be given to:
- Seed-funding or pump-priming for a sustainable activity, such as a restoration plan, Friends Group set-up costs, research project, or volunteer training schemes.
- Applications that reflect the Trust priorities around conservation, knowledge sharing, and encouraging participation and enjoyment of historic landscapes.
Preference will be given to smaller charities and projects where a grant can have more significant impact, and projects that will be sustainably completed within 18 months of the application.
The deadline for applications is 16 October 2026.
