We welcome all residents to get involved.

As well as our most valuable resource – people power (!) – we are also in need of materials to transform these spaces. If you have anything to offer, or know of a great place to get things (either for free or at good value) then please let us know by posting a comment below or emailing shiona_macp@hotmail.com.  The most obvious items we will need are:

  • Compost
  • Well rotted manure
  • Top Soil
  • Wood and other materials to make raised beds
  • Screws/nails etc
  • Water butts (or equivalent)
  • Seeds
  • Plants
  • Trees for replanting
  • Organic plant food (eg comfrey tea, seaweed extracts)

Any ideas on sources of funding for these items would also be extremely welcome!

Many thanks, the Growing Team
