Announcing the Gardening Against The Odds Awards dedicated to the memory of the writer Elspeth Thompson, who died earlier this year. Elspeth was one of our London’s Green Corners supporters and judges and we are delighted to be running this new award in association with The Sunday Telegraph and Green & Black’s Organic.

The awards celebrate ordinary gardeners throughout the country who garden against the odds and in so doing touch the lives of others.

Read all about this new award at www.telegraph.co.uk, where entries and nominations can be made online and examples of some of those who garden against the odds in The Sunday Telegraph. Closing date is 17 September.
