Cultivating Knowledge Summer 2025 Welcome to the first of our newsletters showcasing the Working for Gardeners brand. We really hope you like our new colours and logo. In this edition, Donna writes about her year as a WRAG Scheme trainee and the opportunities that have come her way. I was really lucky to meet her when she designed and built her Beautiful Border at Gardeners’ World Live in June and I know how hard she has worked. Congratulations on an amazing year to Donna and to all our trainees graduating this summer. If you didn’t manage to get to Gardeners’ World Live this year, you may have come across us at Scone Palace Garden Fair where WRAG Scheme trainee, Lizzie Cameron, not only won a Gold medal but also Best in Show; or at Chelsea Flower Show where Pelham Plants created an amazing display telling the Working for Gardeners story. I hope you’ve managed to get to some of our events. They are always a great opportunity to explore new places and meet new people. We’ve got lots coming up and you’ll find all the details on our website. This newsletter marks the end of my tenure as Chair, and I'm happy to say I'll be staying on as a Trustee, as I hand over the reins to Cathy Hastie. It's been a pleasure to oversee the introduction of our new branding, and to have connected with so many of you this year. Happy gardening! Sue Reed Chair
