Please fill in the form below to apply for membership of the Gardeners' Company.
It will probably take you 15–30 minutes to complete the form. It is designed to be filled in from your computer browser, rather than on a mobile device. After completing one section of the form, you may need to scroll up for the beginning of the next section.
You will be asked to supply a headshot photo; please have one to hand. If you're applying for Freedom by Patrimony, you will need to provide the date of your qualifying parent's admission as a member of the Company.
When you've submitted the form there will be a confirmation screen (you may need to scroll up to see it). You will also receive an email notification with a copy of your answers. (If you don't receive an email notification, please contact the Membership Secretary to check whether we've received your application).
There are several longer-form questions; you may wish to draft answers to these in a separate document and then paste them in to the form:
- Do you work, or have you ever worked, in the City of London? If so, please give details.
- Please give details of any other specific interests in the City of London that you may have
- Have you ever been involved in the horticulture trade? If so, please give details.
- Please give details of your interest in Gardening or Horticulture
- Please state fully your reasons for desiring to be considered for admission to the Worshipful Company of Gardeners
- Mini-biography: Tell us about yourself in 100-200 words. Bear in mind that this bio will be visible to other members (via the secure, members-only section of the Company website), if your application is successful
