Manchester and Liverpool have launched a joint bid, called A Tale of Two Cities, to win £120,000 of funding from Kew Gardens for wildflower planting.
One community will receive the Grow Wild funding to create an inspiring wild flower haven for everyone to enjoy – and you can help decide who wins.
This is a fantastic opportunity to bring a splash of colour to the city - in the words of the council's biodiversity officer Dave Barlow, "we've gone from grey to green, now let's go from drab to fab!" - and will also be a great boost for the cities bees and other pollinators.
There are four other finalists in the competition, and the winner of the funding will be decided by a public vote, which is open until 4 November.
