Today, the Jubilee Gardens Trust is celebrating after receiving a Green Flag Award for Jubilee Gardens for the third year in a row.
The Green Flag Award is the international quality mark for parks and green spaces and receiving the award three years running is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the Gardens so that everyone can enjoy them.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager Paul Todd MBE said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Jubilee Gardens in achieving a Green Flag Award.
“Jubilee Gardens is a vital green space for the community in South Bank and Central London, bringing people together and providing opportunities to lead healthy lifestyles. The staff and volunteers do so much to ensure that it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award and everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement.”
The Green Flag Award scheme, managed by environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy under licence from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, recognises and rewards well-managed parks and green spaces, setting the benchmark standard for the management of green spaces across the United Kingdom and around the world.
