The application process is straightforward, requiring no rigid templates, just a clear breakdown of your ideas. To apply, you will need to pull together three electronic documents:

1. An Application Summary Sheet: A quick overview featuring your contact details, organisation name (if applicable), project title, and a brief summary of the idea.

2. A Project Description: This is your chance to tell your story. Include a brief background of your group, why the project is necessary, how you plan to deliver it, and how the space or project will be looked after in the long term. You can include drawings, site images, or planting lists to help bring your proposal to life. Don’t forget to include an itemised budget outlining exactly what the money will spend on.

3. Financial Statement: If you are applying as an organisation, you must include a recently audited statement of accounts to demonstrate financial viability (this is not required for individual applicants).

Once your files are ready, digital applications can be emailed directly to the Trust Director at d.rae@rbge.org.uk.

If you have a project in mind that connects people with plants, improves public spaces, or protects our botanical heritage, this is the perfect time to get your application details finalised.
