Community Gardens Award Accepting Applications

The Community Gardens Award offers grants for projects run by amateur garden groups with a community focus.

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.

Funding could cover expenses such as:
- Site preparation (including hire of small mechanical tools such as rotavators).
- Hand tools.
- Plants.
- Trees.
- Shrubs.
- Containers.
- Seating.

There is no fixed minimum or maximum award, but grants do not usually exceed £5,000.

The deadline to apply is 28 February 2022, and you can find out more and apply here - https://ngs.org.uk/national-garden-scheme-re-launch-community-gardens-award-programme/
