Bristol needs your vote to secure £120,000 Big Lottery grant to ‘Grow Wild’
Grow Wild inspires communities, friends, neighbours and individuals across the UK to come together to transform local spaces, by sowing, growing and enjoying native wild flowers.
Bristol needs your vote! The ‘People’s Plant Project’, is in the running to win a £120,000 grant to transform the city; bringing a flowerbed of colour to the Cumberland Piazza and providing the Bristol community with some of the UK’s rarest native plants to be displayed via ‘pop up’ gardens around the city.
Bristol has been shortlisted, along with four other cities, and is now in a national public vote to secure £120,000 as part of a UK-wide campaign called ‘Grow Wild’ to grow native wild flowers in urban areas.
People can vote for the People’s Plant Collection (Bristol) by calling 0808 228 7704 or by visiting vote.growwilduk.com and clicking ‘vote now’ on the People’s Plant Collection page.
Partners involved in delivering this project include Bristol City Council, Bristol Nature Network, Bristol Zoological Society, Bristol Green Capital 2015, the Hotwells and Cliftonwood Community Association and Bristol in Bloom.
Supported by the Big Lottery Fund and led by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Grow Wild is a four-year programme to bring people together to sow UK native wild flowers. The project aims to transform and bring colour to where we live: turning unloved spaces into wildlife-friendly wild flower havens.
