Young people living in Yorkshire will now have the opportunity to build horticultural skills to increase their chances of finding work, thanks to a new Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) programme funded by the Peter Sowerby Foundation.
The Peter Sowerby Foundation has donated £200,000 to the RHS to deliver the three-year programme.
The first phase of the programme will focus on engaging youngsters between 16 and 25.
This will be widened to engage people of all ages in Yorkshire as the initiative develops.
