Supported by the National Farmers Union, British Growers Association, The Horticultural Trades Association, the Chartered Institute of Horticulture and Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board, the LSA Charitable Trust established the Fellowship programme to inspire future leaders in horticulture.
The LSA Charitable Trust (Land Settlement Association) is principally involved in advancing education in horticulture, but also has an important role in the relief of poverty for former members, employees and tenants of the Land Settlement Association Limited.
One of the key benefits of the Fellowship is the opportunity to broaden perspective, create a network, and equip the fellows for a future leadership role within the industry.
