The project aims to restore The Bushey Rose Garden, a small formal garden close to Bushey Town Centre.  The gardens are a unique green space and act as an oasis in a busy urban area.  The project will increase community use of the gardens and the restored site will be used as a venue for events to attract visitors and broaden the range of audiences.

The primary purpose is to reverse the decline of an attractive and much valued park for expanded community use, combined with a desire to see its social and cultural significance explained. A process of restoring the park's key features, including a planting strategy to improve horticultural standards will be developed alongside improved facilities for play, better access and interpretation for visitors and residents alike.

The comprehensive improvement of the park's physical character, in particular addressing unsympathetic additions combined with an enhanced programme of maintenance, will make it cleaner, safer and greener. The project will also see investment into an educational strategy matched to a long-term commitment to educational activities.
