Help the Conservation Foundation celebrate London’s unsung gardening heroes
 
Londoners whose green corners make the capital a brighter, greener and healthier place to live and also enrich the biodiversity are invited to enter London’s Green Corners Awards 2008.
 
Anyone in Greater London is welcome to enter their green corner as long as it is visible to someone other than its owner. Neighbours and passers-by are also encouraged to put forward one that brightens their day.

If you could change one thing about where you live, what would it be?

Turning derelict land into a playground. Planting trees where none grew before. Creating a wildlife pond where there was once a puddle. Turning an abandoned building into an arts centre for young people…O2’s It’s Your Community is a new awards programme to help people come together to make a real difference to the communities in which we live..

Every month more than 60 good ideas receive an award of up to £1000 in O2’s £1,000,000 community programme, managed and assessed in partnership with The Conservation Foundation.
