Neighbourhood Awards
Transform your local area
Community gardening is a wonderful way of getting to know your neighbours, doing your bit for the environment, brightening up where you live and having a more active and healthier life.
The RHS Neighbourhood Awards are open to all community-led gardening projects or groups from a group of neighbours transforming their street or creating a community allotment. If you are part of a small community group or a few individuals just starting to sow the seeds for a cleaner, greener local environment, then the RHS Neighbourhood Awards are for you. The Neighbourhood Awards invite everyone, not matter where they live, to get together and make a difference to their community through gardening.
In 2008 there were over 600 active Neighbourhood Awards projects in cities towns and villages across the UK and each of these communities was recognised for their accomplishments. And on top of the recognition they receive these groups have reported the following benefits of participation in the campaign:
- Safer communities
- Making friends with neighbours they never knew
- Transforming rundown areas
- Creating wonderful spaces for everyone to enjoy
- Increased local pride.
