SERVICE DETAILS
UPDATE...We're not currently running many open drop in sessions, please contact us for more information.
Our big garden at 10 Wardieburn Road, is the main base that we work from. Before the pandemic we were open 3 days a week, hosting gardening drop in sessions for anyone who'd like to get involved, though this is currently much more restricted. We provide resources, support, advice and encouragement to anyone gardening in the area (especially if you're interested in growing food). The garden also hosts the freeshop, and the chicken cooperative, as well as being a space where people work together to grow a wide range of fruit, vegetables and herbs. It's a great place to learn and try things out, make friends, and (often) find some calm in the neighbourhood.
Normal service details...
We hold regular OPEN GARDENING DROP IN SESSIONS on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at the BIG COMMUNITY GARDEN at 10 Wardieburn Road, EH5 1LY.
These sessions are informal, but there will always be someone around with a list of jobs and some activities to join in with.
Everyone is welcome (children with a responsible adult) whether you're a complete beginner to gardening, or have been growing field scale crops for many seasons.
These sessions are also a good time to visit us, or to come and meet people if you're new and would like to get more involved..
The big garden is managed communally, with harvests shared between all those who show up and help out, and decisions about growing made by those doing the growing.
You're welcome to come for one off visits - everyone is always welcome, never obliged.
