Education
Education is lifelong process. With our programme of events, lectures, conferences and study days, we are always aiming to meet these needs for our members.
Schools into Gardening
“We also believe it is important to encourage children to develop a love of gardens and landscapes.”
We hope that they will learn about the world of nature by learning to care for a school garden. Then they will continue to appreciate their green environment in their adult lives.
So we welcome applications from primary schools for small grants to help towards the design and construction of specific projects. The grants may be used for hard landscape features, tree planting, raised beds, sensory gardens and child-size garden tools etc.
They may also be used for visits and training purposes. These grants will be made available to older students in the near future. They will include schools that have access to allotments as well as their own grounds.
The number of projects that we can support will depend on the Trust´s available income.
