Organisations involved in horticulture, gardening, or botany can apply for small grants from this Trust.

Established in 1970, the Trust has awarded over £3.2 million to more than a thousand recipients, supporting projects that promote horticulture, conserve the environment through biodiversity, develop public gardens, and advance horticultural education.

Eligible projects include the restoration of historic gardens, creation of new public garden spaces, horticultural research, publications, and plant study expeditions.

The maximum grant is £5,000 but applications are welcomed for modest grants of less than £500. Typically, grants are in the range of £3,500 to £5,000.

They are normally awarded twice a year, in April and September.

The application deadlines are 15 February and 15 August.
