About Culpeper Community Garden

Over the years Culpeper has been recognised as a model of excellence. We regularly receive awards. In 2023 we received a level 5 ‘Outstanding’ community garden rating from the Royal Horticultural Society. In 2018 we won Gold at the Islington in Bloom and a special award for best wildlife garden. In 2009 we were one of the first voluntary organisations in the UK to be given PCASSO level 1 certification for good governance. In 2012 Culpeper was safeguarded as an open space ‘in perpetuity’ though a Fields in Trust initiative to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond jubilee. This was with the full support of Islington Council who have backed us from the start.
