Friends of Barshaw Park

Renfrewshire

2024 Certificates
Level 5 - Outstanding
Certificate of Distinction

In 2024, Friends of Barshaw Park was recognised by Keep Scotland Beautiful with a Runner Up Certificate of the Scottish level of the Gardening for Health and Wellbeing Award, one of five new RHS Community Awards.

Started as a group of local people who care about Barshaw Park, Friends of Barshaw Park is now a registered charity with hundreds of people involved. Over 50 volunteers maintain the Walled Garden, which has received the Outstanding It’s Your Neighbourhood level of achievement for the last 3 years. 2 years ago they created a Community Garden with funding from the RHS, and lots of veg and flowers are grown, and community events and activities are hosted there. In the wider park, the group organise litter picks and ensure that the park is well maintained by the local authority.
