The council said the initiative aimed to foster a sense of community, improve local environments and allow residents and community groups to take ownership of their local green spaces.
Councillor Charles Quinn, cabinet portfolio holder for environment, said: “We encourage everyone, whether you have a passion for gardening or simply just want to try something new, to apply and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.”
The council said applicants would be invited to discuss their project, before being issued with a licence agreement.
