Activ8ourplace in conjunction with Branchton Minis and Juniors Youth Club have embarked on a wonderful project to learn about how to grow stuff and where some food comes from. Like all things it has started off small - Strawberries are already in the ground. The overall aim is to start a community growing space in each area covered by our good selves, growing fruits and vegetables within and with the communities.
We are hoping to grow potatoes, spring onions, strawberries, raspberries and anything else that is recommended. The growing plan would be rolled out to the young people in the wider communities over the summer holidays via the playschemes held in AIleymill Primary School, Lady Alice Primary school and Branchton Community Centre. If you have green fingers and would like to get involved then feel free to get in touch - all help appreciated.
Guarding the Strawberries
The fruits of our labour...
OK, so it's not quite a field but we all have to start somewhere...
