HENDRY FUND GRANTS

Ms. Evelyn F. Hendry bequeathed a significant part of her estate to the East Surrey Group of the Alpine Garden Society when she died in 1993. This was used to establish a fund which is administered by the AGS and is used to further the Society's charitable objectives. Grants for specific alpine-related projects are available from the Hendry Fund. Projects can involve research on any aspect of alpine plants in the wild or in cultivation.
