Canary Wharf Group partnership
We have a partnership with Canary Wharf Group (CWG), the UK’s largest sustainable developer with the aim of accelerating action to help biodiversity to thrive in urban environments.
Wildflower Photographer of the Year 2025 Exhibition
Sponsored by Canary Wharf Group and judged by renowned garden and plant photographers Clive Nichols and Molly Hollman, along with the National Wildflower Centre team, Wildflower Photographer of the Year 2025 celebrates the 1,600 species of wildflowers native to the UK. From the Shetlands to Sark, hundreds of people submitted images of British wildflowers that reflect the variety, beauty and fragility of the UK’s wildflower habitats.
Winners in each category received cash prizes, and their photos were exhibited at the Eden Project alongside the highly commended and shortlisted entries. The winning and highly commended photos are now on display at Eden Dock in Canary Wharf this summer.
Our partnership with Canary Wharf Group reflects a shared commitment to creating places where nature and people can thrive, with Eden Dock standing as a leading example of how urban spaces can support biodiversity.
