Colegrave Seabrook support for horticultural students
Horticultural students are encouraged to apply for a range of bursaries and scholarships in 2024.
In a recent declaration of their support, Smart Garden Products (SGP) will be sponsoring five Student Scholarships. Paris Natar, Chairman of Smart Garden Products, declared “We have strong relationships with garden centres and want to play our part in guaranteeing their longevity and success”.
Neil Gow, Trustee of the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation added “This support from SGP allows the Foundation to take even greater strides forward in the support it provides to students who are passionate about horticulture”.
Additional support
As well as financial support for the winners, students benefit from taking part in a development tour, giving behind the scenes access to leading horticultural businesses, including Smart Garden Products Eureka Building warehouse hub in Peterborough.
Abi Green, who recently graduated as a Crop Technician from Pershore College was one of the winners of the Scholarship in 2023. She said of the tour "Smart Garden have shared with us so many aspects of their business and it has been truly enlightening to experience their culture and way of working”

In 2023, students shared a total of over £26,000, using the funds to support travel, the costs of student life including fees and the purchase of resources and equipment.
