The Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust

Through the Trust grants are available to projects of significance to horticulture (or botany with a strong horticultural content) and education for horticulture. The type of activities that can be funded include:
• Training schemes for gardeners run by appropriate organizations
• The provision of educational programmes in gardens open to the public
• Preparation of exhibits or exhibitions of horticultural interest; the restoration of historically interesting gardens which are or will be open to the public
• The development of new gardens which will be open to the public; etc. (please note the list is not exhaustive).
The Trust also provides support for several traineeships in horticulture each year (August to July); these are awarded to applying gardens (who each find a suitable trainee).
The next deadline for applications is the 15th February 2014.
