The Chanticleer USA Christopher Lloyd Scholarship was ‘conceived to provide a gardener from the United States with a year-long, practical education in the traditional style of ornamental gardening as practiced at two of the world’s most respected gardens, Great Dixter in East Sussex, England, and Chanticleer near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA’.
The scholarship offers 'an American gardener a chance to develop deep practical skills and an understanding of the ‘sense of place’ needed to manage complex, innovative flower gardens such as those at Great Dixter and Chanticleer. It is hoped that the scholar, in turn, will inspire a future generation of North American gardeners, passing on knowledge and skills’.
The scholarship is named in honour of the late Christopher Lloyd, who lived and gardened at Great Dixter and established close ties with Chanticleer, and is open to trainee gardeners who are U.S. citizens. The Scholarship is funded by Chanticleer.
The application closing date for the 2025-2026 placement is: 1st November, 2024.
