Grove Academy
This Pop Up Pocket Garden was built by Ruth de Villiers from Grove Academy. She built it using a wooden pallet that she found while out on a beach clean. Ruth has built three layers into the pallet and filled them with plants for wildlife and for people including Nasturtiums, herbs and wild strawberries.

In this video, Ruth tells us all about how she built her garden and shows us the beach where she originally found the pallet.
This Pop Up Garden is a 20th Birthday Garden. In 2020 we celebrated 20 years of working under the name Keep Scotland Beautiful to help people change the way they think about the environment and encourage them to take action to improve and protect it.
