Apply and express your interest
You find the apply-button in the Overview project activities or in each project activity topic’s article. We encourage all interested to apply. When applying, you will be asked to fill in a form. By filling in the form you express your interest of joining the workshop. You will receive further information about the programme, accommodation, bursaries etc. as soon as all the details are worked out.  

Diverse group of participants
If the workshop is over-booked, a committee will select who will join the workshops. We aim to encourage a diverse range of participants to attend the workshops. We would like a wide geographical spread, range of abilities and levels of expertise. Most of all we would like those attending to be interested in the topic, keen to learn and contribute as much as they can to the conservation of heritage gardens and want to share their new knowledge and skills with others.

Price for participation
The participation in a workshop is free, but everyone must cover their own expenses connected to travelling, board and lodging.

Other Garden Conservation

We cooperate with other actors in the heritage garden community throughout Europe, and here is some info about upcoming events hosted by some of them.

Workshop

Join the team at Gunnebo gardens in Sweden for a two-day practical workshop in which we investigate the impact of historical techniques and tools on both the aesthetic and horticultural development of hedges.
It’s time! The Orangery at Gunnebo will finally be opening and we’re celebrating by inviting you all to our very first crafts festival. Are you interested in heritage crafts like wood and stone carving, timber framing or how to make a tiled stove? Would you like to know more about orangery plants and mowing with scythes? Then this is the perfect event for you.

Workshop

Gunnebo is hosting this four days workshop, with the topic ‘Lawns and meadow cultivation in Historic Gardens’ which is a follow up on the webinar earlier this year.
