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.
