<p>To provide growing spaces around Largs for people who live and work in Largs to grow their own&nbsp;food&nbsp;in a community environment. The project has secured land in two locations in Largs which will be transformed into much wanted and needed community growing areas. We expect to have access to at least one of the large growing areas by the New Year so the land can be made ready for the next growing season. With this is mind we want to make the gardens accessible and usable spaces for all and are seeking funding for raised beds&nbsp;requiring little or no upkeep and maintenance by their users once in place. The project&#39;s main outcomes are hoped to include supporting families grow fruit and vegetables for themselves and using surpluses to support the wider community through the food bank, a community larder or other community groups in the current cost of living crisis and for the future.</p>
