Grants are available to individuals through the Gardening with Disabilities Trust to enable them to continue gardening despite advancing illness, age, or disability. To apply for a grant, individuals must provide a letter from their doctor or other healthcare professional indicating their disability and a copy of another official document, such as a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or a Blue Parking Badge. The Trust offers various support measures, including adapting private gardens to meet the special needs of the disabled, making grants towards tools, raised beds, paving, and greenhouses. Preference will be given to keen gardeners who can no longer garden due to their physical disabilities. Further information on how to apply is available on the Gardening with Disabilities Trust website. Funding Available for Disabled Gardeners (UK)
