Would you like to advance your horticultural career and acquire practical skills and knowledge in these kinds of areas:

• Propagation for historic gardens

If so, the Historic and Botanic Garden Bursary Scheme may be just what you’re looking for...

The Historic and Botanic Garden Bursary Scheme (HBGBS) enables enthusiastic and committed horticulturalists to increase their horticultural and other technical skills through practically based training placements, in a range of historic and botanic gardens.

With support from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and a partnership of world-class organisations, the HBGBS is offering a range of unparalleled opportunities throughout the UK. Over the period of the HLF funding we will provide more than 1,000 learning opportunities, from a single day to a full year.

We would like to thank the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and our partners from world-class organisations (including English Heritage, the Royal Horticultural Society, Lantra, Green Space and the National Trust) for their continuing support.

All the partnership organisations and placement providers are fully committed to equal opportunities.
