The bursary has been endowed by Dr Henry Pearson in memory of his late wife, Susan, and will give individuals the opportunity to gain practical skills in plantsmanship and all aspects of garden and estate management while working at an established garden. Applications can be made either by the individual or the garden offering the work experience place.
