The Edwardian-styled walled garden re-opened to the public in 2001 after restoration funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Grade II-listed garden was originally part of the manor gardens before becoming part of the park. Work has included the relaying of paths, replacing the lily pond, erecting a metal arch and re-introducing early varieties of period plants.
How does this contribute to environmental citizenship?
The Walled Garden links back to environmental citizenship as it is part of Preston park which holds many schemes in keeping up the protection of the park. The high quality of the park and open space has resulted in Preston park becoming a regular winner of the green flag award.
