The Gardens Trust will offer a free online session explaining how researchers can submit their findings to The Gardens Trust, on Tuesday, March 5. Open to all. This free session will explore the options for submitting your research, whether for our annual essay prize and new research symposium, or as a full academic article for publication in our peer-reviewed journal, Garden History. We’ll explain the surprisingly wide range of topics that fall within our remit and offer lots of tips and ideas to help you succeed. The session is aimed at post-graduate students and independent researchers in the UK and abroad – anyone who has new research findings to share in English on topics that will be of interest to our audience. The panel presentation will be recorded for those who can’t attend the live event, and there will be a chance at the end for you to ask questions.
