Since 1986 The Park Garden Trail has raised nearly £250k for charity. Our emphasis is donating to small, local charities (and not-for-profit organisations) that help the Nottingham/shire community.
Each PGT supports 10 small, local charities, which are requested to provide four volunteers to assist on the day. Charity applications for PGT2025 are now open - for further details about what is involved in being a PGT charity, please click here
