Community Gardens Near You
Did you know there are all sorts of activities to get involved in at your local community garden?
We are incredibly proud of our community gardens; they are a wonderful asset and facility for everyone in the local area to enjoy. It’s great to be able to step outside for a wander and meet new people for a blether.
Whether you live in Whitburn, Howden, Craigshill, Polbeth, Ladywell or Deans, we’re confident there’s a community garden near you. With summer approaching, now is a great time to get out of the house, meet new people and be more active. From basic planting and growing through to wildlife crafts, outdoor cooking sessions and seed sharing events, each individual community garden has something different to offer. The key aim of them all is to support people of all ages who want to grow food. Here’s a few of the community gardens in the communities where Almond HA has housing stock.
