Applications open for GCA Trust Dick Allen Scholarship
The recipients of the award will be invited to attend the International GCA Congress later in the year in South Africa.
Garden Centre Association (GCA) members are being invited to put forward team members for this year’s GCA Trust Dick Allen Scholarship Award Scheme. It is open to staff within GCA garden centres and the recipients of the award will be invited to attend the International GCA Congress later in the year in South Africa.
‘An amazing opportunity’
Will Armitage, trust chairman of the GCA, explained: “This is an amazing opportunity for any aspiring members to see how garden centres operate in South Africa, while furthering their personal development with an opportunity to network with other operators from all over the world in a more informal environment. Speaking from personal experience, the successful applicants will have the opportunity to forge lasting professional relationships with likeminded people from all over the world and make some great friends.
“The two successful candidates will be expected to take to the stage at next year’s GCA conference to give a brief presentation of their experiences and what they and their garden centre were able to gain from this opportunity.”
Applications are now open and from those submitted, two will be chosen to attend this year’s International GCA Congress, which takes place in South Africa from 19th to 25th October 2025. For full details visit igca25.co.za/igca25.
