Share a photo of biodiversity anywhere in the Ealing borough to win prizes
Local biodiversity is blossoming
With flowers blooming and leaves unfurling, Ealing is looking at its most beautiful. As the deadline for the Biodiverse Front Gardens and Balconies Competition approaches (14 July), the Cultivating Ealing collaboration wants to capture the snapshots of biodiversity currently sprouting up throughout the borough’s seven towns of: Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall.
Biodiversity wins
With the sunshine out, ActForEaling, Cultivating Ealing and Ealing Council are inviting the borough to share their photos of the biodiversity they see in all corners and spaces of the community. The first FIVE appropriate photos shared via contact@actforealing.org will be randomly awarded one of the following fabulous biodiversity-promoting prizes:
- Self-watering planters from Crescent Garden
- A pair of tickets to Wilding at the Picturehouse (Ealing Broadway, W5 5FA) – 8.30pm Thursday 13 June
- Wilding books and posters signed by Isabella Tree from Ealing’s very own MetFilm
Why promote biodiversity
More and more people are becoming aware of the essential role of biodiversity in giving us clean air, food, clean water, shade and good health (both mental and physical). The Biodiverse Front Gardens and Balconies Competition wants to locals to experiment with upcycled yoghurt-pot micro-gardens through to shared street planting. The sponsors behind the prizes share this passion for everyone contributing to a more biodiverse world.
Crescent Garden passionately believes in bringing more nature to urban spaces. Its planters are not only climate-positive but also make urban gardening easy with the self-watering features of all Crescent Garden products. The winners of these planters will be able to create mini-gardens where before there was a bare patio or balcony. Every corner matters.
This is also the theme of Isabella Tree’s new film “Wilding”, the winners of the Picturehouse tickets and Wilding books cannot fail to be inspired to join this growing nature movement to transform the UK into a greener and healthier place.
