The Restoration project
Moore Close Gardens need help being restored to their former beauty! While a lot has been accomplished over the years, there is still a great deal of work to be done, as you can see from the photographs above. Funds for the restoration are welcomed from private donors in order that small specific projects may be undertaken and completed whilst we apply for grants from other sources, such as government and historical preservation bodies. Such funding application processes require much time and effort, and are ongoing, but in the meantime we also want to inspire you with new ways to donate to the Restoration Project.
Artist Judith Milne has created a beautiful original watercolour featuring the garden in its fully restored state. We invite you to be part of this dream! (Please click here to view the artwork)

How we work
A specific restoration and management group has been set up to overview all work being done in this area. One of the first items discussed in 2015, was the approval of a master plan, which included more than just restoring the steps and fence. The vision we have is a garden open to the public (under controlled circumstances), for activities and events, rental arrangements, public tours and other activities. This will ensure that the gardens can be a beautiful and attractive place for anyone with an interest in such, and thereby be able to obtain public funding. You can read about the master plan here.

How you can help
We welcome any financial contribution that you are willing and able to make, however small. As we try to make certain sections of the restoration available for specific funding, you can see how progress is made and the amount of money allocated. We will be transparent, informative and accurate in dealing with incremental project funding.
Another great way to help us, is by becoming the local Ambassador in your area or your country. By signing up to becoming a local Ambassador, you will get more information from us, and be able to answer more questions should anyone ask. You will be listed in our website as the local Ambassdor, thereby supporting the cause in a special way. There are no obligations or other requirements apart from the natural interest in our work and being in line with our statutes and philosophy.
