The National Garden Scheme supports community garden projects across the United Kingdom, with a clear emphasis on horticulture, green spaces, and wellbeing. Its funding appears geared toward practical, place-based projects that improve access to gardens and nature while strengthening community connections. The program suggests a strong interest in the social and health benefits of gardening rather than broad environmental grantmaking.
Program-specific grants for UK community garden projects; likely modest, targeted awards rather than large multi-year commitments. Funding is aligned to a defined Community Garden Grants program rather than open-ended general support.
Focus proposals on how the garden will benefit local communities, wellbeing, and access to green space in the UK. Highlight clear community participation, horticultural impact, and any wellbeing or inclusion outcomes; applicants should check the NGS website for current eligibility and application windows.
