Education & Communities

The Trust is keen to encourage local community groups and schools.

Education

We offer grants to help teachers and their pupils to think of their school grounds as a learning environment.
Since 2009 the Trust has made small grants to schools in Leicestershire & Rutland to create flower and vegetable gardens or with the purchase of gardening equipment.

Community Groups

We also offer small grants to local community groups in Leicestershire & Rutland aiming to raise awareness of the rich garden and park heritage in our area by helping these groups. These grants help with the buying of plants and equipment; it enables individuals to get fully involved in community projects.
