Overview

Scholarships Our scholarships support future horticulturists, so that the UK’s ornamental horticultural industry can continue to grow. Awards range from a few hundred pounds to several thousands.

A truly pioneering company, rich with heritage built from humble beginnings. The team at Wyevale Nurseries believe the key to long-term success is innovating in production methodology, reviewing and raising environmental targets and investing in infrastructure and personnel. Wyevale’s highly skilled, experienced plantspeople produce and tend to nearly seven million plants annually across 777 acres, and the management know, without good people, there would be no business. It is this commitment to developing people that is the very root of the Wyevale Nurseries Scholarship. Andy Johnson, Managing Director, says “Wyevale Nurseries is delighted to add its name and support to the encouragement of young horticulturists in their early career stages. We are part of a diverse and rewarding industry and see working with CSF in their well established programme as a simple and clear way to stand alongside others in the industry to demonstrate the value we place on supporting new talent and the development of skills and industry knowledge.” Apply for the Wyevale Nurseries Scholarship if you are studying Horticulture and related subjects and you have a particular interest in the commercial production of hardy nursery stock, trees, forestry and hedging.
