Horticultural Research Scholarship
Horticultural Research Scholarship – up to £4,300
This scholarship is partly funded by The Crispa (Richard Cahn) Charitable Trust. Richard Cahn was a well known and highly respected figure in the horticultural business world and perhaps best remembered for creating Roundstone Nurseries and Garden Centre in West Sussex. His career in horticulture began soon after WW2 when he combined his passion for plants and innovation and established his Crispa Cress business. Crispa Cress were innovators in the salad product market, not only through growing new crops, but also how they were packaged and marketed. Richard’s family and friends have established a charitable trust to give financial support to various causes and, through this, are supporting the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation in their work to fund students studying aspects of horticulture, with particular emphasis on horticultural research.
Recent years have seen huge advances in the part innovative research can play in plant growth and the whole supply chain logistics from propagation to perishability of produce .
