GRANT AWARDED - Friends of Mawsons Garden, Silverdale

The 3R Foundation recently awarded £250 to the Friends of Mawsons Garden, Silverdale for a cordless brush cutter.
They are a relatively new charitable organisation set up to maintain and preserve this historically important garden designed by Thomas Mawson​.
​

He was responsible for many famous gardens including Brockhole, Graythwaite Hall, Dyffryn, Rydal Hall, Southport Marine Lake and about 250 other gardens, town plans and international works including the Peace Gardens of the Hague.
​
The 5 acre garden sits close to Jenny Brown's Point, Silverdale. It was laid out in the 1920s, then largely abandoned in the 1980s but has been undergoing an informed and careful restoration over the last 10 years. The Garden is also a venue on the Arnside and Silverdale Art Trail, both in its own right and as a wonderful setting for the display of others works of art. They approached us for a grant to allow them to purchase a 48v heavy duty cordless brushcutter which is vital for the maintenance of the gardens.
