2011 Journal
Norfolk Gardens Trust
The 2011 Journal contains:
The Renaissance of Gunton Park
One of the greatest landscaped parks of Norfolk, Gunton fell on hard times. It was neglected or put under the plough. Elise Percifull here tells a story of the phoenix-like rebirth of Gunton's Park, brought about by a handful of dedicated and imaginative owners of sections of the estate whose resolve has resulted in a magnificent restoration.
The War Memorial Gardens
Little known outside the county, Norwich can boast some fine Art Deco gardens laid out in front of the City Hall and contemporary with it - the War Memorial Gardens. Designed to incorporate Lutyens' War Memorial, Lesley Kant Cunneen reveals the garden's genesis and vicissitudes, up to their restoration and reopening in 2011
Holkham Walled Gardens
Huge kitchen gardens were an essential of any great country house, and Holkham's were among the finest. Social change in the 20th century appeared to signal their end, but fresh approaches and reuse have opened up a new future. Christine Hiskey looks at elements of the Walled Gardens history over more than two centuries.

Norfolk's Switzerland
The intriguing story of one of Norfolk's once famed gardens, Brundall Gardens. Created by a doctor, the gardens which became his passion, were bought by a showman who turned them into a huge tourist attraction. Roger Last tells a story of two contrasting men united by this singular site of river and hills.
