Alan Titchmarsh Award

Applications for the RHS Campaign for School Gardening Alan Titchmarsh Award are now closed for 2009

The RHS has now awarded 100 schools with £500 worth of National Garden Gift Vouchers (NGGV), therefore, no more of these awards will be given for 2009.  The RHS Campaign for School Gardening Alan Titchmarsh Award will be available again in 2010.  You can still submit your level 3 and 4 evidence, however, the rewards will revert to those previously given.

Alan Titchmarsh came to Wisley on Thursday 16th April 2009 to launch the 'RHS Campaign for School Gardening Alan Titchmarsh Award'.  Due to his kind generosity and his passion for involving children in the natural world, the Nation's best-loved gardener is supporting  the funding of school gardens.
