Here are some ideas of what you could use the Gardening Neighbours Grant for on your estate:

• Grow fruit and veg for you and your neighbours in a communal space 

• Cultivate a flower garden in a communal area for your community to enjoy 

• Transform the front of your property in a way that others may enjoy 

• Plant flowers in time for spring around trees in your green spaces 

• Grow plants in a window box or in pots around your front entrance 

• Improve the appearance of a disused area on your estate 

• Teach children to grow their own food 

SHG can pay for some or all of your costs, up to the value of:

• £500 for projects involving five people or more 

• £250 for projects involving between two and four people 

• £50 for individual projects 

The total amount applied for may not be awarded and applicants should only list costs that are directly relevant to their project
