Winning last season, Isobel Watson, a level three crop technician apprenticeship at Pershore College and grower at Bransford Webbs, said: “I am so excited to be given this opportunity and I feel this student scholarship will help me develop in my current role as a grower and support my studies with my apprenticeship. It will be such a valuable learning experience that can support my horticulture career in many ways.”

Over the past ten years, DCF has awarded almost £100,000 towards study tours, work placements, college tuition, accommodation fees, books, equipment, and extra training courses.
