The Company has a long tradition of supporting horticultural and garden design students at Capel Manor College, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, RHS Wisley, Writtle University College, the Royal Parks and City and Guilds. Prizes are awarded annually at the Autumn Court Dinner in November.
Prize winners are invited to join the Company's Network of Past Prize Winners, where they benefit from a support and information network with occasional visits to places of horticultural interest and opportunities for continuing professional development.
Concurrently with the student awards, an annual award is made to the staff member of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s staff who has shown outstanding leadership and innovation in horticulture.
