Oak Spring Garden Foundation offers a great opportunity for early-career researchers in the humanities in areas related to the history, art, and culture of plants, gardens, and landscapes. This opportunity is given to the early-career researchers who are working independently developing a new body of research that would especially benefit from access to Oak Spring’s library. The selected researchers will be given award includes a $10,000 individual grant, and 2 to 4 weeks in the Oak spring where they will be able to meet with staff, explore our 700-acre landscape and our efforts in sustainable land management, and visit our rare book library that holds over 19,000 objects, including many examples of botanical art.
The Fellow will have ample time and space to work independently on their own projects during their stay. The only requirement during their time at Oak Spring will be to give one 45-minute presentation with time for questions, to Oak Spring staff and any other fellows or residents who might be on site.
