This year’s Kent Horticultural Bursary is now open and calling for applicants, with up to £1,000 on offer to individuals or groups with an interest in horticulture.

The bursary, which is funded by the Kent Horticultural Discussion Group, can be used for a study tour, project or piece of research work in any area of horticulture. The group has been hosted by East Malling Research since its inception.

Application forms are available from www.kenthb.org.uk, which must be returned by September 1 2007.

Despite the name, applicants are welcome from outside of Kent.
