Beth Chatto Education Trust bursary

Events such as our symposiums offer invaluable opportunities to come together with like-minded people, exchange ideas, and learn directly from leading voices in the field. We also recognise however, that the cost of attending events like these can sometimes be a barrier.

In line with the Beth Chatto Education Trust’s commitment to making learning accessible to all, a number of funded places will be available for individuals working, volunteering or studying within the horticultural industry who are keen to attend. Priority will be given to applicants who can demonstrate how they will share their learning and extend its impact within the wider community. These funded places aim to support those who might not otherwise be able to take part, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent access to education, inspiration and meaningful professional connections.

Applications will close on February 28th 2026.  

All applicants will be informed of our decision by March 4th 2026.

For enquiries relating to bursary tickets, please email us at bursary@bethchatto.co.uk

All applicants will be given the opportunity to purchase an early bird ticket, with a payment plan available should their application be unsuccessful.
