ESSEX GARDENS TRUST

Events (eg visits to gardens)Lectures related to parks, gardens, designed landscapesFoster interest in gardening within primary schoolsComments where appropriate on planning issues if relevant to pre-existing garden environmentResearch into designed landscapes and publish books and articles on them

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
