A great opportunity for an American gardener:

Applications are open for the Chanticleer USA Christopher Lloyd Scholarship at Great Dixter—a unique opportunity for an American gardener to spend a year immersed in the art and practice of ornamental gardening.

The scholar spends 11 months living and working at Great Dixter in East Sussex, England, followed by a month at Chanticleer in Pennsylvania. Along the way, they’ll develop practical skills, deepen their understanding of garden design and horticulture, and learn from two gardens known for their distinctive, imaginative approach to planting.

Know a gardener ready for this opportunity? Share this with them!

📅 Applications due November 1.
