Funding Available for Urban Nature Projects (UK)

Grants of up to £2,000 are available to community, youth and voluntary groups from across the UK that want to bring local people together to transform  urban areas by sowing and growing UK native wildflowers and/or plants.

The funding, which is being made available through the charity Grow Wild (an initiative of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew), will support activities and costs such as:

  • seeds
  • plants
  • soil
  • materials
  • events
  • workshops
  • specialist experts
  • contactor costs

Successful groups will receive their Community Grant funding in April and projects need to be completed by the end of October 2024.

The programme also offers tailored online training sessions and opportunities to connect with other participating groups.

Resident’s groups, community associations, and health authorities/health boards are also eligible to apply.

The closing date for applications is 3pm on the 13th February 2025.

There is also an opportunity to apply for a £500 follow-on grant for spring 2026, to help support ongoing activities.
