Chairfs Report
I have had the prNilege of acting as Chair slnce ourfomier Chair stepped down In June 2023 and l am pleased to say
that the Trust has continued to operate effectivety and has had a good finanoal year.
During the year we completed the second phase of the path projert and the third phase was completed just after
the end of the financial year. In time for the February 2024 snowdrop season. Our contractors did a fantastic job. so
that the path now weaves from the entrance through to DaisVs and theR joins Ltp with the rest of the path.
Unfortunatety few vrsitors got to appreciate Ft in s￿?*￿r0p season as we had to cancel most of the Open Days
because the Gardens and car park were waterlogged. with stsnding water in places we have never had it before.
We have made less progress on the second of our major projects: the planning for re-pavfingthe ttèlian Garden. The
heavy wirrter ralns this year have shown us h(Ni important drainage is and we are still working to decide our
preferred solution. We are working further on the planniry and approvals required byt may not athieve our initlal

REPORT OF THE 7RU5tEE5 FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JA14UARY 2024
Despite indifferent weather. the Gardens have ix)un￿d back from the drought in summer 2022 and the hard wirrter
of 2022123. Volunteers have made good wlth a lot of new F4antln& of shnjbs. trees, perennials and bulbs and have
worked hard to maintain all the main garden a￿a5. The tulips started the season in the Italian garden with a blast of
colour then the Yuccas an exceptional flowering year. and the Helenium. Symphyotrichum and r05e5 kept the
colour going right to the end of the year. The walled kitd￿n garden produced an abundance of soft fruit and
ve8etables and its roses, flower borders and dahlia border were a delight. We spruced up the front of the Gardens to
improve wsitors. first impression& And the ne4¥ plantlng continued into the autumn with more bulbs: a new fern rill.
to replace the flint rill whith never quite worked. and shrubs in new beds on the western ed8e of the Garden. now
known as Wafwick c4)mer.
At the beginning of the financial year we had a good snowdrop season. setting us up well for the rest of the year. In
April, our first everTudor Day was weL urffortunately. but the Merrie Folke made the best of It. with fantastic
costumes and a lovely range of activitses for visitor5 and they a￿ retuming in June 2024. Across the rest of the year
Open Day visltors enjoyed the nature actiwties. live music, 8ames on the uoquet lawn, craft and food stslls and
interesti￿9 traits in the Gtade.
Open Thursdays continued to work well for us, givi￿ Wsitors the opportunity to vL8it mid-week and allowing our
volunteers to talk to them aboLrt what makes the Gardens suth a special Pla￿ to be. We also made the m05t of
being able to sell vegetables from the walled kitchen garden. both at our Open Days and, at the height of the season.
at the Fam)ers' Market at Little Easton Manor. We made record income from this. In the au￿rnn we reflerted on
our apwoach and have bought seed to improve upon this record. weattw permitting.
Across the year as a whole we welcomed 6.142 visitors to the Gardens, up 3% on the 5,938 vlsrtors in the previous
year. We welc¢)med 4,139 wsitors on open days {induding 616 children). an increase of 25% on the number in 2022.
The￿ were 854 visitors on Open Thursdays lan increase of 6% on 20221 and 1,149 visitors came to the Garderts on
organised group visits or for other artivities at the Gardens. including lots of U3A and gardentng groups, people
participating in Helen Rollason Cancer Charwty fundralsing walks. children and teachers from two local primary
schools and a vintage car club stopped at the Gardens for lunth on a day out. Our talk about the Countess of
Warwick and her Gar(lens continued to be popular presented to 47 8roups, local and further afteld. and wlth
attendance by 1,826 peopl& We also w&ented the history ofthe Garkn at the Counte55 of Warwick Show.
Over the year the Trust ra￿d income of £72.457. while totsl expenditure for the year was £57.286. So. the Trust
ended the year wlth reserves of £122,755. up from £107.584 at the beginning of the year. The ¢05t of the third phase
of the path projett fell in February, immediately afterthe year end. The value of maintslnlng reserves was
demonstrated in February 2024 when we had to cancd the Snowdrop Open Days but we could ￿nethelesS look
forward to proceeding with the T￿S￿5 plans for further Garden projects and restoratton work.
Our Volunteers
Volunteers run and mairrtain the Gardens and work with Trustees to (Jesign developments in the Gardens. They raise
plants and tend and prulle them: carry out maintenance: run open days and provide catering for vi5Ftors,' give talks
and tours,. and work on our Archive and history displays.
We are lucky to have a lot of active and committed volunteers. with skills and ener8y to offer to the Garder6. This
year we had 84 volunteers contributing to the work oftheTwst. who put in 8,038 hour5 work at the Gardens, 8% up
on the previous year {7,4681. At the end of the yearthe Trust had 67 active volunteers (previous year 641. For

In 2023124 total expendtture forthe year was £57.286. compared to totsl expenditure of £39,498 in 202V23. The
Trust invested heavlly in the second phase of the path projett. taking the cost of infra5tru¢ture projects this yearto
£16,230. Garden expenses were also up significantly. ThÈs induded spending on plants to ￿￿ace those which were
killed in the hard winter of 2022123 and on new trees and shmbs to enhance the Gardens. It also included spendin8
oll a new pump fortaklng water from the well. We also took delNery of a new ride-on mower. which has been
really helpful additton to our equipment. for example savÈng labour on leaf colletting in the autumn and allowing
volunteers to complete additional clearance projerts this year. Administration costs and overheads in 2023124,

When the Trust adds to Èts cash reserves this it in a strong position to plan future big projects. The Trust also
needs some reseNes to bridge the gap between spending and the receiwng of income: in case of loss of Income due
