The Community Garden was established during lockdown when we were able to work outdoors and socialy distance.
Over the last 3 years we have welcomed many visitors, gained new trustees, work with various groups including the schools, hosting and organising events.
We grow produce which goes back to the community helping with the cost of living.
We offer teas and coffees and plenty chat as the last three years have had a devastating effect on people's mental heath and wellbeing.
Description
Our volunteers and members regularly attend other events promoting the Community Garden and we would like to provide warm fleeces/ waterproof jackets with our logo. Also advertising material to help promote the amazing work our volunteers do.
We have two bee hives which are now producing honey. Two of our trustees self fundeed a bee keeping course and bought their own suits. We would like to purchase two additional suits to allow members of the community who would like to learn about bee keeping and see first hand what happens within the hive.
We would like to trial soup packs made up with the produce from the garden . These would include everything to take home to make soup including a recipe. Two of our volunteers recently attended a beginners cooking class at a Radio City initiative and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, gaining so much confidence in preparing and cooking simple wholesome meals.
Fleeces/ jackets £470, Bee Suits £110, Advertising banners and leaflets £200, Soup packs £150, various gardening gloves £70
Location: We are situated behind Dalry Library and easily accessible to all.
