Set up in 2011 in memory of the writer and gardener Elspeth Thompson, the Community Gardens Award offers grants for projects run by amateur garden groups with a community focus across England and Wales.
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.
