2009-03-22, make: New Zealand Gardens Trust
The New Zealand Gardens Trust (NZGT), established by the Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture (RNZIH) in 2003[1], is a Trust that aims to:
- develop and maintain a database and website of gardens endorsed by the RNZIH;
- promote the member gardens, and the "open garden" sector in general[2].
The New Zealand Gardens Trust has developed "an independent and creditable assessment process"[3], to ensure that the gardens in the database are properly categorized.
The gardens in the database are arranged in four categories:
- Founding Gardens; these gardens each donated NZ$2000, which enabled the trust to undertake a first round of garden assesments, to commission the website and to hold an inaugural seminar[4].
- Gardens of national significance; these gardens are assessed by a team of "two professional assessors. The assessors consider a range of factors before determining the final outcome. These areas include (...): hard landscape and design, plant material and use, maintenance, safety and overall impression"[5]. Gardens of national significance comply with the highest standards. March 2009 xx gardens in New Zealand are considered as being of national significance.
- Gardens of regional significance; these gardens are assessed in the same way as the gardens of national significance, ..... There are xx gardens of regional significance (March 2009).
- Registered gardens; these gardens have been visited by one assessor of the NZGT to ensure that the information published on the website is true and correct[5]; re-inspection takes place every five years. The database contains xxx registered gardens (March 2009).
