A community partnership delivering a Craigshill based Growing Together Project.
Working in our local communities we are creating and cultivating community gardens, hosting cooking sessions and community events, promoting the ability to create nutritious meals at home and supporting people of all ages who want to grow food.
Thanks to funding secured through the Scottish Government’s Investing in Communities Fund, the project team can offer a range of community based ‘plot to plate’ activities which are great fun and free to take part in. We will provide 'grow your own' kits for participants to use at home, give practical help through instruction manuals and our YouTube Channel and we will make use of raised planters at four Almond HA community garden sites.
Our aim is that local people from all age groups engage with the project, through growing activities, workshops and community food events designed to support sustainable lifestyle changes. Growing Together is run in partnership with West Lothian Youth Action Project and The Conservation Volunteers (TCV).
