Wildlife gardening competition 2024 plain

Hannah Bunn

Wildlife gardening is a bloomin' great way to help nature near you thrive. That's why we launched this wildlife gardening competition for the second year running! We want to celebrate blossoming balconies, small urban nature havens, sprawling back gardens, community patches, nature-friendly allotments, school outdoor spaces and everything in between.

Voting for gardens, community spaces and schools was open 1-15 October 2024. One vote per person/email address is permitted. The garden, community space and school from each category with the most votes won! There was also be an outstanding award, chosen by the judges.
