Autumn update 2023

In September we welcomed our 2023-24 cohort of trainees onto the programme. While the trainees are busy settling into their placement gardens, we have started the process of recruiting gardens for 2024-25.

If you are interested in hosting a trainee next year you can find more information here. Applications for interested gardens close on the 1st December. We aim to announce next year’s gardens around the start of February, in time for trainee applications to open in March.

In the meantime, if you or someone you know are interested in applying, we have added a notification box to the homepage, so you can sign up to be notified when applications open.

Over the next few months we will be visiting the trainees in their placement gardens and we will be sharing photos of our visits on the HBGTP Instagram page, be sure to follow us to keep up to date!

Here are a few seasonal photos for you to enjoy.
