Chalrfs Report
This was somewhat of a rollercoa5ter year, but we all pulled through its challenges and the Trust achieved
reasonable financial year. So we remain well placed to continue our planning of major investment projects, subject
to regulatory approval and approvals from our lessor, Landsec.
The key challenge was the excessive raln through the winter of 2023n4. which meant that one by one we had to
cancel the planned Snowdrop Open Days. Then we had a really cold spring and insatiable slugs, snalls and beetles. By
the end of the season, our valunteers had got the Gardens back on track arKI ViSTtors continued to be amazed at
what had been achleved and the lovely spa￿5 we have ¢reated. But the stone of the steps into the Itallan Garden
was falling- and it wa5 becomln8 I￿reasInglY dear that a first priority for the coming year for the Trust vmuld be to
find a solutlon enabling volunteets and visitors to condnue to enter the sunken garden safely.
Our purpose and actlvltles
The Trust exists to preserve, conseNe and protect the historic gardens of Easton Lodge and their blodlver5ity, for the
enjoyment of the publlc, by". maintaining the gardens. ambieno* protecting and renovating the gardens, historic
structures: and enabling a¢￿5$ and pD)vidin8 ed￿tIonal opportunities for the public. The Trust aim5 In doing 50 to
operate effectively and In line with best practice for small organisations. 50 that it can devote its resource5 to
restoration and the improvement of the Gardens.
Achlevements al￿ perfoffl
This year was dlfflcult from the start. The winter was wet and wam in the run-up to our snowdrop season. The
snowdrops flowered ahead of time and the Gardens became completely waterlogged. In advance of each proposed
Open Day we had to assess whether we would be able to'open the car parl given the huge areas of standing water
and what the forecast rain would mean for visitors and the Gardens. In the end we opened on one Thursday for a
few people. The upside was that we planted thousands of snowdrops intended for sale. The v￿ather then turned
colder than usual and the bug life in the Gardens feasted on what little was growing. so that vegetables and dahlias
In particular had a rough stsrt. When the weather finally picked UP* the yield on soft fruit and vegetables was good
and the new wildflower spiral in the walled kitchen garden was a delightforvolunteers and visitors alike, from May
to August. We had more visitors on main season Open Days and Open Thursdays than In the previous year. And after
the Gates shut for the season volunteers cracked on with planting bulbs and new roses and maintenance work
across the site.
Across the year as a whole we welcorned 4,803 {c(Knpared to 6.142 visitors in the previous yearl. 2,701 visitors came
on Sunday Open Days, induding 446 children- a pleasingfinal tallyk Eiven thatthe sftowdrop season was all but
cancelled. 3￿hOugh 35% down on the previous year. We had higher numbers of visitors on Open Thursdays in the
main season. including a lovely number of children during the school holidays (total l?43, including children). but

illustrated talk covering the fascinating story of the Countess of Warwick ar￿ her Gardens was given to 39 gardenin&
U3A and history groups. with attendan￿ by 1,778 people. We also presented the history of the Gardens at the
Countess of Warwick Show and at Cressin8 Temple's Apple Oay.
It is very rewarding for the Trust and its volunteers when visitors say how much they have enjoyed seeing what we
have achieved. The tours provided by our Guides are always really well re￿Ived. And many visitors take the
opportunity to quiz volunteer5 on the plants or the approach we take to nurturing them. Visitors have also remarked
how much they appreciated our Archivist guiding them around the stories and photos in the Archive. Of course we
also sometirnes receive disappointing reviews online-and we aim to respond to these and draw lessons from them.
Thls year the Trust raised income of £64,805, while total expenditure for the year was £52299. including further
spending to complete the path. The surplus for the year means the Trust has continued to build its reserves for
future projects, from £122.755 to £135.261 at the end of the year.
Our Volunteers
Volunteers run and malntain the Gardens and work with Trustees to design developments In the Gardens. They ralse
plants, tend and prune them; carry out maintenan¢e; run open days and provide catering for visitors; give tslks and
tours; and work on our Archive and hlstory displays.
We are very pleased to be able to report that we are continuing to bulld up the number of active and commltted
volunteers working with u5. They enjoy each otherfs company, while working outdoors In whatever conditions the
weather throws at us. Thls year we had 84 volunteers contributing to the work of the Trust, who put in 8,362 hours
work at the Gardens, 4% up on the Previous year17,468 hours} and we were asslsted by two corporate work groups,
from Saville and Essex County Council. At the end of the year the Trust had 72 active volunteers (previous year 67).
For 2025126. 42 volunteers will be votin8 members of the Tru5L a good number for holdin8 the Board to account
and to contrlbute ideas for the future directlon of the TrusL
Flnanclal Revlew
Total income was down on prevlous years, because of the forced cancellation of the snowdrop Season, which
Smpacted our income from admission charges. caterin8 and season tickets, as well as Other funds raised. Income for
202412S was £64.855, 10% down on the £72.457 ralsed In 2023124. Fortunately the Trust has few wasted costs,
when Open Days have to be cancelled. Overhead costs were a little lower for the year. S), Net Income held up
allowing the Trust to add £12,556 to its reserves.
This Net Income was after further investment in the Gardens during the year- in completing the path, plantlnE UP a
new bluebell wood, adding tree5 to the Japanese style garden and the Glade and replacing many of the benches
around the Gardens. The Trust also spent furKls on advice and survey work to help it develop plans for the next
restoration work In the Italian Garden and future investment in the fabric of the Garden

REPORT OF THE TRusfEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2025
Iusk Management
Given the TrusY5 purpose to preserve, conserve and protect the historic Gardens is for the long-terni. the key risk for
the Trust is the longevity of its lease of the Gardens from LandseL The short-temi renewable lease and grant and
other support from Landsec enable the Trust to open the Gardens to the public but do not give the assuran
required to invest in significant improvements to the infrastructure of the Garden>
The Trust considers strategic level risks and Issue5 affecting or Ilkely to affect the Gardens at its quarterly meetings.
The Trusys short-temi risk management involves the Garden Management Committee IGMCI overseeing and
delivering against delegated plans and budgets for the Maintenan￿ of the Gardens. The GMC is chaired by a Trustee
and has a minimum of two other Trustees as members, a5 well as a number of gardenlne and maintenan
volunteers.
The Trusvs key short-terni risks and new mitigations are as follows:
There are clear risks to volunteer5 and visitors if the weather and condltlons in the Gardens are particularly
awful. The TrusV5 investment in the new path has improved accessibility in the Garden5. but the Trust still
needs to take decisions on whether it must cancel open days. Thi5 year. the Trust had to improve its
declslon-making in thls regard durlng the horribly wet snowdrop season and has improved Its
communication of potentlal closure through Its website and soual media.
The deterioration of the one set of steps into the ttalian Gardeft and the age and condition of some of the
trees in the Gardens are rlsks to volunteers and visitors that the Trust closely monitors. The safety of
structures and trees are the responsibility of Landsec. so the Trust draws attention to related concems and
ensures that areas are closed to volunteers and visitors when necessary until remedial action ts tsken. As the
steps have deteriorated, the Trust has sought Landsed5 perniission and installed temporary steps, while
Stone restoration is planned.
First Aid- the Trust ensures that the day supervisor on volunteer days and on Open Days has requlsite the
First Aid qualification and during the year thi5 training was refreshed.
There Is always an inherent risk to Income. from the weather and competitton redudng the number of
visitors to the Gardens. Each closed season the Trust works on new projects to encourage ￿tUmIng Visitors.
The wIldflov￿r spiral bed in the walled kitchen garden was one such and a very succe$5ful addition In 2024.
This year the Trust also improved elements of tts visitor offer for Open Thursdays and Sunday Open Days, bv
purchasing additional garden games for children and inviting a children's author to the AuEUSt Open Day. It
was gratifylng that visitor number5 for the main season held up after the all but cancelled smwdrop season.
Grass cutting is importantto matntain the ambience for visitrjrs and is partly contracted out and partly dotie
by volunteers. This year we improved our cutting regime using the new mower and we took the decision
that our volunteer5 have learned its MaInter￿1￿ requirements so can now take on that role. reducing
outtsge time and the rlsk of not cutting key areas in advan￿ of Open Days.
