St John's Community Garden

South Lanarkshire

2024 Certificates
Level 5 - Outstanding

Sitting behind the Catholic Church of Our Lady & St John's, Blackwood is a vibrant community garden which originally was laid out about twenty years ago by the team from BBC Beechgrove Garden, but had suffered several years of neglect. 

What has been achieved is a credit to all - the community - both local and within the county - the school and its partnership group, and the Church. This relationship has resulted in a garden feature which incorporates the Christian faith, biodiversity, colour, a place for contemplation, and a learning environment. An added benefit is its use to support John Muir Awards, and it's a pleasure to meet the school’s John Muir Ambassadors whose friendliness, plus knowledge, is another example of how a successful community gardening partnership can develop.
