Beneficiaries
UK horticulture faces a persistent skills shortage, with barriers to entry for people who are long-term unemployed, under-served, or unable to access traditional training. Urban communities also experience limited access to nature and green careers, contributing to health and wellbeing inequalities.
Bankside Open Spaces Trust (BOST) provides inclusive pathways through its Future Gardener's programme into green careers that improve lives and urban environments through the delivery of accessible horticultural training, mentoring and work experience. We build confidence, skills and routes into employment or further study, while contributing to greener, healthier communities.
