The Hampshire Gardens Trust Research Group has completed a comprehensive survey of all urban parks in Hampshire and is now hosting an exhibition showcasing four years of meticulous research. The 'People's Parks of Hampshire Exhibition' delves into the rich history and significance of Hampshire's public towns and gardens, presenting the survey results of urban parks.

The pandemic lockdowns underscored the vital role of local green spaces in our health and well-being. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to recognise and protect these areas.
