The Dartmoor Conservation Garden is a wild-planted conservation garden showing some of Dartmoor’s typical habitats and native plants. It is sited directly behind the DNPA’s National Park Visitor Centre in Princetown, within the Jack Wigmore Garden and is free for everyone to visit. It hosts important archaeological features including a 4,000 year old Bronze Age granite burial cist, a medieval quern (grinding) stone and a medieval cross from the Monk’s Path.

Local schools also use it as an outdoor classroom. It has been recently renovated by the Dartmoor Preservation Association helped by DPA volunteers, with funding provided by “Your Dartmoor Fund” from the Dartmoor National Park Authority, who also provide other practical support. Ongoing maintenance, outreach and conservation-associated events are managed by the DPA.

 

Full details of all events can be found in our Calendar of Conservation Workdays and Guided Walks. For booking for all events and any other information please contact: Pat Fleming, Conservation Garden Manager on 01364 631233 or email: wylde@gn.apc.org
