Excellence in community gardening
Last updated 26 June 2026
About the CIB Awards
The Community in Bloom (CIB) Awards recognise excellence in gardening efforts by community groups and aim to encourage community gardeners to improve the standards of their gardens while continuing to enjoy gardening as a fun and healthy activity.
The CIB Awards will continue to take a pause in 2026 as we are developing new approaches to recognise and support our gardening community's efforts. Stay tuned for the updates!
In the meantime, gardening groups can participate in this year's cycle of the 'Grow and Share' initiative and be one of the first 300 groups to be eligible for a starter pack and an appreciation pack.
If you and your gardening groups are up for a challenge, please participate in the Community Garden Edibles Competition 2026 and put your gardening skills to the test!
