Outdoor Children

Kids in the historic environment

Hello! My name is Linden Groves and I am a landscape historian and mum-of-three. I’m passionate about parks, gardens, and the ways in which people experience them.

I’ve worked for over 25 years as a garden historian, dealing with conservation, engagement and writing books. Meanwhile, my experiences visiting historic parks and gardens with my family have given me a love of engaging young people with these special places.

I’m determined to give a small place in every child’s heart to the outdoors of today, yesterday and tomorrow.

Please, let’s work together to achieve this vision.

What I do (and how I do it)

Education & training

My dream is to see every school child enjoy a historic park or garden visit before they turn 18, and I am passionate about creating engaging educational activities and bespoke training to fulfill this vision.
