Summer is the best time of year to show off your garden to its full potential! Help with the greening of Walthamstow Village by making your front garden as lush and inviting to wildlife as possible. Then nominate your garden and as many other local gardens as you like (only once each). You do not need to be a V17 member to nominate or be nominated.

Categories include: front gardens, balconies, window boxes & containers, and business premises. The entry must be able to be seen from the street or be open to the public. The winner in each category will receive a £40 voucher to spend on more plants!

Get involved on Instagram by following and using the hashtag #v17gardens

If you don’t have much going on in your front garden - consider this your call to action! Even a small tree in a pot contributes to the greening of our neighbourhood and increases biodiversity.

Did you know that one full size oak (a big tree, granted) serves up to 2,000 different species?

New this year is the category Indoor Jungle

for those who have their gardens inside! This category will be exclusively on Instagram as people will need to share photos of their indoor jungles - nominate yourself or a friend who lives in the area with a few pictures or a reel and the hashtag #v17gardens
