Growing Matters

The project provides the opportunity for volunteers to maintain and develop their physical and mental wellbeing in the beautiful setting of an old kitchen garden, which they are developing as a community resource. They are always anxious to recruit more volunteers and can offer a wide range of experiences from basic gardening to DIY or simply a chance to meet other people. No gardening skills are required as help and advice can be provided. They also provide periodic training courses in beekeeping and willow weaving, using material grown in the garden.

In 2023, Growing Matters received a Certificate of Recognition in the NatureScot It's Your Neighbourhood Pollinator Friendly Award.
