Community Gardens
From 1984 onwards, the Trust has been involved with the creation of 14 new, small public gardens in Hampshire either by initiating the idea, giving advice and/or small grants or by providing general support to a scheme.
Several Friends Groups have been formed, often responsible for fund-raising and the upkeep of a garden.
In March 2009, nine of the Friends Groups responded to a suggestion by the Trust to set up an Association of Friends Groups, which now meets twice a year to exchange information and share problems. This Association is not a closed shop and other groups are welcome.
The Association of Friends Groups
The Crescent Garden, Alverstoke
Dean Garnier Garden, Winchester
The Porter’s Garden, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
Townhill Park House Gardens, Southampton
Other public open spaces with which the Trust has been involved are:
The Sunken Garden, Holly Hill, Fareham
Queen Eleanor’s Garden, Winchester
Westbury Manor Museum Garden, Fareham
Sir George Staunton Country Park, Havant
Compton Garden, St Cross, Winchester
