Gardens and health innovation projects
Applications are being sought for the National Garden Scheme (NGS) Elsie Wagg (Innovation) Scholarship 2024, which seeks to promote health and wellbeing through gardens and garden visiting. The scholarship will be awarded to five projects – led by nurses working in the community and/or primary care – that promote the health benefits of gardening and garden visiting among a group of people. The Queen’s Nursing Institute and the NGS created the scholarship as a joint initiative to support examples of how gardens can promote physical, mental and emotional health.
