Historique
The association was founded in 1882, with the object of providing open spaces in the London metropolitan area. It raised money through subscriptions for the purchase and laying out of parks and gardens; it also attempted to persuade local authorities to provide more facilities of this kind. The association also encouraged the conversion of disused churchyards and burial grounds into public gardens.
