Delivered by the National Garden Scheme, the Community Gardens Award provides grants of £1,000 and £5,000 for the creation of a garden or a similar project (such as an allotment) with horticultural focus for the benefit of the local community.
The project should aim to bring a community together by creating a space people can share, by the acquisition and sharing of gardening knowledge and skills and by inspiring a love of gardening.
The funding can be used for a number of things, including but not limited to:
- Plants and containers
- Materials for flower or vegetable beds and other hard landscaping
- Greenhouses, polytunnels and sheds
- Seating
- Hand tools and certain garden power tools (eg strimmers)
- Materials for providing refreshment.
Applicants must be a fully set up community group, registered charity or Community Interest Company (CIC) with a functioning non-personal bank account based.
Applications will be accepted until noon on 28 October 2024.
