The Cornwall Gardens Trust Journal is published each year in April, and provides an opportunity to print articles of local interest and show what the Trust has achieved over the year. It is distributed free to all members, and is also made available to other Garden Trusts or interested organisations.
The Journal includes articles on gardens, historic landscapes and other topics of interest to CGT members, as well as book reviews and other reports. It aims to provide material that is both well researched and entertaining.
Contributions and suggested subject matter and ideas for future issues are always welcome, and the editor is always happy to discuss ideas for inclusion or advertising support.
For guidelines for authors, our very reasonable advertising rates or any other information on the Journal, please contact the editor, Trish Gibson at [email protected] or telephone 01208 880308
Edited copies of some earlier editions of the Journal can be viewed by using the links found on the right hand side of this page.
Back copies of many of the previous Journals are still available to purchase at a cost of £4 each including p&p. To order them, please send a note of the edition you would like to buy together with your name and address and payment to David Pearce at Sweet Thymes, Rose, Truro TR4 9PQ.
