Delivered by the National Garden Scheme, the Community Gardens Award provides grants of £500 to £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 funding is available to projects in England, Northern Ireland and Wales run by amateur gardeners within community groups or Community Interest Companies (CICs).
Grants could cover expenses such as:
- Site preparation (including hire of small mechanical tools such as rotavators)
- Hand tools
- Plants
- Trees
- Shrubs
- Containers
- Seating
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.
