The library has now been renamed the HGT Hutton Library after the late Professor Stan Hutton and his wife, Barbara, who organised the setting up of the library at the University and continued to run it until 2007.

Valerie Joynt is the Honorary Librarian and looks after the collection of books we have at the library.  Valerie is always looking for suggestions from members and is keen to hear from anyone who has read a good book which covers our subject range i.e. designers, botanists, plant hunters, conservation and restoration of gardens and landscapes, public parks, general garden history and specific gardens anywhere which have historical significance.  Preference is given to books of a historical or scholarly content and particular preference goes to books about gardens and landscapes in Hampshire or books written by HGT members.

If you are willing to share your own thoughts with the HGT, please feel free to write your own review and email to the HGT office admin@hgt.org.uk and we will post it in the Book Review section of our website.
