The Institute for Garden and Landscape History has been established to promote the study and development of gardens, designed landscapes and parks by encouraging academic research, practical horticulture and related traditional skills. It aims to disseminate this knowledge for the benefit and education of the public and, in support of this objective, to preserve and maintain archives and collections.
The Institute, which is a collaborative venture between the University of Bristol and Hestercombe Gardens Trust, was formally launched in September 2006 when Timothy Mowl, Professor of History of Architecture & Desgined Landscapes at Bristol, was appointed Director.
