Carts Greenspace's 2009 study tour investigates "growing grounds"

Tuesday 25th August 2009

Choice of site visits provided enthusiasts and community representatives with inspiration and food for thought...

Carts Greenspace organised a “Growing Grounds Study Tour” on 25th August 2009. A 30-seater bus was filled by Councillors, officers from both Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire Council, health promotion experts, community group representatives, voluntary sector organizations, potential funders, active gardeners and aspiring horticulturalists.

We visited Brediland Allotments Association in Paisley, Lochwinnoch Community Garden and, finally, Fairlie Organic Community Garden in North Ayrshire. The responses from participants were very positive, with everybody learning something to take back to their home patches. Next we plan to work with other organisations to set up a Renfrewshire “Growing Grounds” Working Group, to take forward some of the good ideas. Please contact us if you would like to be involved in this group.
