BOST parks go for gold!

Our green spaces swept up at the London in Bloom awards with Red Cross Garden and Tate Community Garden both recognised as excellent green spaces with a Gold award. And, in a further celebration of our staff and volunteer's efforts, Red Cross Garden also won the Small Parks Category and we received a Silver Gilt for Waterloo Green.

Together with our partners Better Bankside and Southwark Council, our Bankside Urban Community was also awarded Gold - a fantastic reward for our collective work greening the local area and engaging our community in green spaces too.

The London in Bloom Awards are a mark of quality for open spaces and celebrate the role of green space within the local community. We'd like to thank our Parks Team and all our volunteers for keeping our spaces in award-winning condition year round. And thanks to all who visit and enjoy time in them.
