An early example of professional networking by women gardeners
I know that I normally only publish a new post on Saturday mornings but there a couple of things coming. up soon that I thought some of you might like to know about which justifies breaking my habit.
The first is a free on-line introduction to the MA and PhD opportunities in Garden History at the University of Buckingham for the academic year starting in October.
A RECORDING OF THE INTRODUCTION IS NOW AVAILABLE AT

The other is a survey organised by the Gardens Trust to see if there is interest in establishing a network for those who work, study or volunteer in historic gardens and related sectors, or are thinking about doing so.

Academic Research in Garden History
Following a very successful first two years of an MA by research in Garden History at the University of Buckingham applications are now invited from students wishing to commence their studies in the coming academic year (2025-6/7) commencing October 2025. The course is is a mix of seminars held at the university’s base in Bloomsbury in central London, on-line lectures and site visits.
The programme director next year will be Dr Twigs Way and she is hosting a free on-line introduction to the MA as well as Ph.D opportunities on Monday 18th August at 18.30. The session will be recorded and available to everyone who signs up, but also via a link on here after the event.
The Gardens Trust Early Career/Emerging Professionals Network Survey
The Gardens Trust is a small charity that helps to protect and promote historic parks and gardens in the UK, largely through its role in the planning system responding to applications which affect sites on Historic England’s Register of Parks and Gardens. You can find out more about their work here: What We Do – The Gardens Trust.
To help protect parks and gardens long into the future, the Trust want to support those studying garden history, or embarking on one of many career paths helping to conserve our rich heritage of designed landscapes. To facilitate this, they want to establish a network for those who may be entering the sector, studying, or volunteering in an organisation that is allied to the Trust’s work. They would therefore like to hear from those interested in joining a network like this to better understand what would attract you to become a member and how they can best support your interest in garden history and conservation.
