Apply now for free garden packs!

Are you ready to turn a neglected space into a vibrant garden where nature can thrive? Whether you want to grow fruit and veg, create a green community hub, or boost local biodiversity, this is your chance.

Our pre-paid packages range from small gardening projects to orchards and large-scale makeovers. Each one includes lots of native plants, tools, resources and other materials.

We handle the orders and deliveries, and our skilled project officers will be there to help you install your new garden.

All packages have now been allocated for 2025-26. However, you are still welcome to apply, and if successful, your application will be placed on our reserve list for April 2026.

How it works

Groups and organisations of all shapes and sizes can apply for Local Places for Nature.

Priority will be given to projects with strong community involvement, as well as those in towns, cities, deprived areas and spaces with little or no access to nature. We’re also really keen to welcome applications from underrepresented groups across Wales.

It’s easy to apply. Pick your package, check the guidance, and fill out the online form.

If you need support with your application, we have regional coordinators on hand to support you through the process.
