Events

We have a full programme of Events throughout the year: Lectures, Seminars, our Oxford Weekend School, Garden Visits and Study Tours (both at home and abroad). New events are added throughout the year.

The theme for 2013, amongst the partners in ‘Working Together’, the GHS, Association of Gardens Trust (AGT) and the Garden Museum, is contemporary landscape design. Because there is no better place in the UK to see contemporary parks than in east London, we are promoting AGT’s Annual Conference, in September. It will be based at Queen Mary’s College, University of London, E1 4NS, from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 September. Scrutinising the changes to east London’s landscapes since the 1940 Abercrombie plan, lectures and visits will focus on Mile End Park, Canary Wharf and Thames Barrier Park, and conclude with a guided tour of the new Olympic Park. For more information please email or: 0207 839 3969.
