At Malvern Spring Show 2007, Chris launched the unique Chris Beardshaw Mentoring Scholarship sponsored by Bradstone - leading hard landscaping manufacturer.

The annual scholarship provides one determined individual with a chance to win a once in a lifetime opportunity to work alongside Chris over 12 months – and to gain advice on setting up, running and marketing a business from Bradstone to help them to succeed in the exciting but tough world of landscape design. The winner will also have the opportunity to undertake further training for their professional development.

The 2009 scholar is Paul Hervey-Brookes from Newent and you can see how he is getting on and find out how you can apply for the scheme by visiting www.chrisbeardshawscholarship.com. 

Thanks to our Scholarship Sponsor Bradstone, and also Three Counties and the RHS for supporting this initiative:
