The Eric Gardener Memorial Fund aims to improve British Horticulture mainly by promoting, encouraging and supporting education, research and experimental or development work.

Th Fund has supported a wide range of projects. It has helped those attending conferences and studies both here and abroad.

It has given money for the promotion of horticulture as a career and even helped to encourage the consumption of fruit and vegetables.

Our last grant was to help a young person attend the International Plant Propagation Society Conference.
