Corstorphine in Bloom is a community action group and has no bank account.

The approach is that various groups use their own funding to count towards planters and plants that they manage.

There could be partnerships with community organisations or businesses as some funders allow that.

• Sponsorship: £50–£150 per planter from local businesses.
• Grants: Edinburgh Council community funds, Tesco Bags of Help, Lottery “Awards for All”.
• Donations: cash tins in shops, JustGiving page.
• In-kind: compost, plants, tools from garden centres (e.g. B and Q, Dobbies).
