Incredible Edible Lambeth and Lambeth Council want to highlight and celebrate all the amazing growers around the borough. We’ve endured a year of limited access to community spaces – now’s the time to get back out there. We’re excited to open the call for your nominations for 2021’s Blooming Lambeth Awards – the amazing work that’s going on to green up the borough, bring people together, and improve our wellbeing.
Word from the Mayor
Cllr Annie Gallop, Mayor of Lambeth, said: “The Blooming Lambeth Awards are a chance for every grower in the borough to be recognised for their contribution to making Lambeth a better place to live. Do you know – or grow – a garden providing healthy food, offering outdoor education, encouraging biodiversity, showing imagination as a growing space. or more?”
Nomination details
- Nominations must include: the name/description of the project, location (including postcode), a contact name and email, 3-5 really good photographs (or videos, depending on the category) and an explanation of why the garden/project has been nominated (forms are all online) – we’re looking for gardens and gardeners that inspire people!
- You can nominate yourself or another garden but please don’t ask multiple people to nominate you. Nominations aren’t ‘votes’ and don’t change the results.
- Deadline for all nominations is 30 June 2021.
