Community Gardens And The Hampton Court Flower Show

EDM number 860 in 1999-00, proposed by Alice Mahon on 15/06/2000.

That this House welcomes the Gardening Which? Garden for People being created by community gardeners at the Hampton Court Flower Show; recognises the value of community gardening in improving health, community-building, increasing biodiversity, and promoting regeneration, while providing refreshment and healthy recreation for those without a garden; notes that such gardens face fierce competition for space in urban areas; and calls on the Government to help secure the future of community gardens and through revised planning guidance and to promote them through the New Opportunities Fund.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
