Wildlife Gardening Award Scheme Winners
Our wildlife gardening award scheme has been extremely popular over the winter months and we have issued 125 award plaques and certificates since the launch in November 2009.
A selection of photographs from our winners so far can be found below. If you would like to enter the award scheme, please visit our application page for further details.

A new garden at Testwood Lakes Centre has been created by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust volunteers, providing an additional safe and exciting discovery area for visiting schools and community groups to enjoy. The garden has been awarded a plaque and certificate thanks to the wildlife friendly design.
Wildlife Trust Education Officer, Sam Dawson enthused about the garden's potential ‘It will complement our existing ‘Water Saving' garden and on busy days with 60 school children on site and adult groups using the conference room, it will provide a much welcomed outside space available for breaks, lunches and learning! We really want to thank all those people who have helped to make the garden a reality'.

Hambrooks Garden Centre manager Kevin Clare comments "We are delighted to receive this award for one of our show gardens as it supports our aim to help raise awareness of the ecological importance of wildlife gardens to our customers."
