How to become a member...
Come along on a Saturday when we have gardening and harvesting sessions (weather permitting) Our membership form is at https://grovecommunitygarden.wordpress.com/grove-in-the-park. If you cannot come on a Saturday email us at grovefcg@grove.com.
Members get access to our toolbox, can join our Facebook group and get email notices of meetings and special events. If you are already a member of ‘The Grove Fountainbridge Community garden’ you are automatically a member of ‘Grove in the Park’.
However, anyone is welcome to come at any time and help to keep the garden weeded and tidy (jobs are listed on the white board in the toolbox). Or just come along to sit and enjoy the space. Young children can play in the canoe (provided they keep the grit inside it), and, for members’ children, we have tools and chalks (for use on the ground or planters).
We are keen to have your suggestions on how to improve and develop the garden – so email us your ideas for making Grove in the Park a vibrant, but peaceful place.
Please check on the Grove Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheGroveFountainbridge for the most up to date information on the gardening sessions or email grovefcg@gmail.com to ask if a session is on if the weather is bad..
