Chairfs Report The Trust leases the Gardens from Landsec. their owner. in orderto preserve. conserve and protect them. The Trust has learned that Landsec aims to sell its land in Ltttle Easton. including the Gardens, by the end of 2026. Thè Tnjst is in close contact with Landsec and will engage with new owners of the Gardens as soon as possible. In 2025-26 the Tru5Y5 gardening volunteers. task was to keep the Gardens boking as good as they Could through the long drought in spring and summer. Volunteer¥ also worked really hard to make the Gardens more attractive for childrèn to visrfc, making addttional games and decoratlng the Gardens for Halloween; and the Trust wmmissioned a new trail to install before the 2026 season. So It was gratrfying that we welcomed more children to the Gardens this year than for many rent year5 and we will be aiming to IlId on that success in the coming year. During thls year the Trust did not make progress wlth Its nservatkIn pro8ramme and in two Important respects the Gardens. historical structures deteriorated: At the beginning of the year the last remaining set of steps into Peto's Italian Garden, which had previously been 'restored° by Landsec's contrartors. became so dangerous that they had to be closed to visltors and volunteers. The TTu5t put in temporary metsl steps. The contractors developed plans for replacing the failed stone. Landsec needs to obtain planning approval forthé stone and can thèn instru¢t the further restoration. At the end of the year a sIgnleant length of one of the walls in the kitchen garden fell down, fortunatelv when no-one was around. Landsec has fenced off the wall and allowed volunteers and visttors to continue to use the kltchen garden. The walls have been surveyed and we awaTt an understanding of Landseds plans for the wall. And our former Chair. An8us Orever died in October 2025. He loved the Gardens. vtsiting often when his deteriorating health permitted. He enjoyed his last visit in September. on a glorKJusly sunny and warm Apple and Bees Day. We planted a special Acer tree in his memory inJ)ecember and another in memory of a former volunteer, LSZ. who kindly left a significant beau to the Gardens. We continue to be inspired by their contribution5 to the Gardens and overthe winter have also added to the tree planting in other areas of the Gardens. We remain optimistic about the future and are progressing a project to connect the Gardens to the electricty grid. We hope that in 2026 the Trust can use its accumulating serveS to tackle the next ¢on5er¥ation priorities.

41 THE GARDENS OF EASTON LOE PRESERVATION TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2026 Achievements and perfomwnee Unlike the previous year. 2025-26 started with a good snowdrop season. Despite Tt being cloudy and cold we had 1,210 adult visitors acrossthe four days and 156 children too. No year is unafferted by weather, of course. The really dry spring and summer meant our volunteers had to work hard to water newty planted trees. special shrubs and flowers and the vegetab% in thè walled kitchen garden. but the lawns. wildfiower spiral and dahlia border suffered, bèfore reviving towards the end of the season. Despite the drought. three main season ndayS were affected bv poor weather forecasts in advance andlor rain on the day. The upside was that rt was a fantastic year for fruit. so we had good tresh produce sales and were kept busy making jams and jellies. Acr05S the year we welcomed 5,840 visitors to the Gardens {compared to 4,803 visitors in the previou5 yearl. 3.981 visitors came on Sunday Open Days. including 830 children12.701 and 446 children in 2024-25, the year we cancelled much of snowdrop season). We had slightty fewer visitors on Open Thursdays in the main season11.180 including children, compared to 1,343 in 2024-251, and 380 people vltIng the Gardens for tours1381 in 2024-251. We had visits from two primary schools. On a very cold day at the end of February 60 children did a range of artivities at the Gardens and in May, twenty Year 6 children from the closest v411age school walked to the Gardens on the anniversary of VE Day to learn about the airfield and local stories from that time. This year, our illustrated tslk covering the fasclnating story of the Countess of Warwick and her Gardens was 8lven to 1.043 people attending 33 gardening, U3A and history groups (previous year 1,708 people). We also presented the history of the Gardens at the Countess of Warwlck Show and at Cresslne Temple's Apple Day. Through the season volunteers worked on a Yin Yang feature In the Japanese style garden at the bottom of the Gladè and after the gatès closed for the Ènd of thè season, the winter tree planting programme kicked in, with additional ornamental trees to extend that area. Volunteers also anted new hedges to frame the westem edges of the Gardens, planted ry¢lamen ¢orm5 and more bulb5. Over the year the Trust had totsl in¢¢ff* of É123.867. in¢lvdin8 bequests. while total expenditure for the year was £55, 221. The surplu5 forthe year mean5 the Trust has continued to l)uild its reserves for future projects, from £135,261 to £203,957 at the end of the year. Our Volunteers Volunteers run and maintain the Gardens and work with Trustees to design developments in the Garden5. They raise plants and tend and prune them; carry out maintenan. run open days and provtde catering for visitors; give talks and tours; and work on our Archive and history display& In 2025-26 we regularly had over 30 volunteers On Thursdays, our main volunteering day. and we were able to reinstate regular gardening sessions on Saturdays and smaller groups workrng on Monday5. Wednesdays and Fridays. This resulted in increased volunteer hours enabling us to get lots of jobs done and keep the Gardèns really tidy. Overthe year 70 volunteers put in 10528 hours work at thè Garden5. 26% up on the previous year18.3621 and others baked cakesl At the end of the yearthe Trust had 65 actNe volunteers.

Within this total, the Trust took income of £49,328 from gate receipts. providing talks and catering for visitors122% up on the previous year. when the snowdrop season was mostly cancelled): generated incorne of £11.069 from sales of produce and other merchandise; and had grant income and investment income tcrtalling £ll,L
51 THE GARDENS OF EAsfoN LODGE PRESERVATION TRUST REPORT OF THE TRusfEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2026 The Trusys expendtture totalled £55,221. up 6% on the previous year largely due to an In¢aSe in overheads, reflecting the Trusvs efforts to improve tfs administration, IT and marketing. Expenditure in 2025-26 included spending on plans forthe restoration of the Italian Garden, as well as paying forthe temporary metal steps wè needed because the Stone step5 into the Italian Garden were unusable. Planting costs were principally trees. hedging and the fencing needed to protect them from the deer who consider the Gardens are part of theirterritory. Overall Net Income totalled £68,646, from a £16.777 surplus from funds generated by the Trust and bequests and donations of £51,869. Thi5 has increased the Trusvs reservesto £203.957. WhÈle further projects to restore the Italian Garden have been held UP the Trust has committed some of its reserves with a pre-payment for funding connection of the Gardens to the electricity grid and orders for making safe the estate drains through the Gardens, park-style tree guards and extending the path partway down the Glade to the memorial area. ReseNes policy and going concern The receipt of bequests and the Trusvs good trading year resutted in the Tn adding signrficantly to its reserves. Following the prepayment for conne¢tÈon to the erid. the Trust finished the year with cash of £157.260 in the bank and deposit accounts, as set out in Note 19. As set out above the Trust has placed orders, which have committed some of this reserve and it needs reserves of £20.0t0 cover running costs in the event of a serious short-term shortfall In income. due to poor weather or other circumstan$ affecting the Trusvs ability to raise income; or to cover unplanned emer8enLy rep•its and other expenditure. 8ut afterthese are taken into account, the Trust remains in a strong posrtion to carry on working on Its largecale plans for fiJrther Garden projects and restoration work The Trusys Current lease of the Gardens runs to 28 February 2027. GÈven the Trusys reserves and the lease funnlng to 2027, the Trustees are of the wew that the Trust is a going concern. Plans f¢x futwe perlods The Trust expects Landsec to extend its ase by a year to 2028 and that new owners of the Gardens wlll want the Trust to contlnue to malntsln and manage the Gardens for the benefft of the publio The Trust ha5 committed to secLtring connection to the electricity grid. Once th is in place. the Trust will be able to Introduce a ran8È of improvements to its operations and enhance the visitor perienCe. Landsec's further restoration of the steps into the ftalian Garden will hopefully kickstart the next phase of restoration of Peto's Italian Garden. This will rnVae a major programme of works over many years, as funds permit, putting back another set of steps adding a disabled access, replacing further steps and eventually repaving- As all progress is dependent on the future lèasè for the Gardens, the Trust 15 very much focused on securing that stable base for its continued stewardship and restoration of the Gardens. In the meantime, the Trusvs volunteers will keep improving the Gardens. through maintenance of the trees and shnjbs and further planttn& to enhance the V15itor experience.

71 THE GARDENS OF EASTON LODGE PRESERVATION TRusr REPORT OF THE TRU¥(EES FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2026 The Trusvs key short-temi risks and new mltigations are as follow5: There are clear risks to the Gardens from the weather conditions. Thi% year the major effect has been from spring and summer drought. The Trusvs volunteers worked hard to keep new trees watered. to minimise losses. The deterioration of the onè Set of steps into the Italian Garden and the age and condition of some of the te5 in the Garden5 are risks to volunteers and ViSTtors that the Trust Close monitors. During the year. Landsec agreed to the Trust's arrangements to put in place temporary steps into the Italian Garden and ha5 progressed its applicatlon for planning approval for frjrther restoring the steps. Landsec arranged fortree surgeons to take down or remove dangerous trees. A section of the kitchen gardèn wall fell in December 2025 and the Trust closed the garden to volunteers until Landsec confirmed it was safe to work, away from the walls. A detailed suNey was undertaken in May 2026. The Trust ha5 been able to cater for visrtors using a very limited ele¢tricity supply, with back-up from a petrol generator. The sustainabilty olthis arrangement is a risk that the Trust has decided to address this year by placing an order for a COnnect)n to the Èlertricity grid.
