Gardens get Lottery Support
Evolution 2010 - our long-term project to redevelop the Horniman's spaces devoted to the natural world - has received a major boost with a grant from the National Lottery, through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund, towards the Gardens redevelopment. Following public consultation, detailed plans have now been developed and work is planned to proceed in the winter once the major funding is secure. Alongside the Lottery, the Horniman is also seeking support from charitable trusts, companies and the community.
