Nature And Landscape

A chance to grow for Painswick Rococo Garden.

Our vision is for Painswick Rococo Garden to be more resilient; have suitable visitor facilities; engage with a wider range of people from our local community and have a more skilled volunteer team. We will employ new specialist staff and consult professionals with specific expertise to support a two-year project that will secure the Garden’s future through professionally planned visitor facilities and business support. This will allow us to develop an engaging outreach programme which is free for participants, welcoming local community groups, including neurodivergent young people. The project will increase participants’ understanding of and connection to nature through a series of wellbeing visits, practical green skills sessions and heritage learning days. The legacy of our project will be the improved resilience of the Trust, increased wellbeing of our outreach participants, increased skills of staff and volunteers and greater awareness of the Garden’s unique heritage landscape, habitats, and organic horticulture.
