Over the years since we began the garden we receive an annual inspection by the Royal Horticultural Society on behalf of Keep Scotland Beautiful.
For the last 3 years, we have had the top grade with a certificate of distinction, this by independent assessors.
Our need is to replace planters and also top soil/compost and to re-furbish the book swap cabinet doors.
The top Gazebo has been set on fire several times and we wish to make good the damage.
Also several benches have been damaged and we would like to replace 2 of these.
- Wood for 4 planters £320
- Material for 2 benches £250
- Material for book swap doors £ 60
- Wood for top Gazebo £150
- Compost and plants £350
- Total £1130

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
