Blue Diamond re-commits to National Trust collaboration

Friday 13 September 2024


The National Trust has announced plans for £1million in garden investment, as its collaboration with Guernsey headquartered Blue Diamond Garden Centres enters its third year.

The funding will go towards a series of plant and garden conservation projects at Trust sites across the country.

Blue Diamond Garden Centres is one of the biggest financial contributors to the National Trust’s gardens and parklands, having committed to giving the conservation charity £1 million over three years.

The Trust’s Director of Gardens and Parklands, Andy Jasper, said: “We’re proud to be custodians of centuries of gardening heritage and we are ambitious for our world-class gardens. Our collaboration with Blue Diamond Garden Centres is helping us to accelerate projects that not only secure the future of plants and gardens, but ensure our gardens excite, inspire and are ready for the future. Together we’re achieving great things in our gardens.”

Alan Roper, Managing Director of Blue Diamond Garden Centres said: “The National Trust is a much loved and cherished institution. Blue Diamond is one of the largest financial contributors to the Trust’s gardens and our funding will enable the Trust to accelerate important plant and garden conservation works, continuing to preserve our heritage and open spaces for all to enjoy."
