Ep.51 - Many people dream of going plant hunting in the wilds or studying to become a gardener, but funding is a sticking point - well there's a bursary for that! Saul and Lucy take a look at whats available and why these funding awards are so important.

2020 has been an unusual and difficult year for many, and we understand that the full repercussions of what we have all been through are still to be felt - but with summer waning and the glory of Autumn still to come, we continue with a healthy amount of discussion on some of our favourite horticultural topics, bringing a little dose of the garden to your daily lives. For many people the financial aspects of starting a career in horticultural or undertaking a project or field trip in our industry can be a sticking point, but it shouldn't disqualify you from having a once in a lifetime experience or starting that climb to being a Head Gardener yourself. This is where financial bursaries and grants come in, and with the news that the David Colegrave Foundation are taking applications for their various financial awards, Lucy and Saul take a look at this important process of taking the next step in you horticultural journey.Twitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulLucy @HeadGardenerLCIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show
