We are meeting in the garden and tackling many jobs! From pruning to working on our mixed orchard, you can join in whether you have got lots of gardening skills or simply a willingness to get stuck in and learn. We'll also have time for a cup of tea, a sweet treat, and a wee chatter in the community pantry. Everyone is welcome! Hope to see you there!

Volunteers can be involved with gardening tasks, designing new areas of garden development, planning and running events. We are always keen to build on volunteer’s interests, skills and experience and therefore encourage suggestions and ideas and volunteers from all walks of life.

Latest Garden News

We are very excited to have received funding from Foundation Scotland via Dundee Changemakers hub.  This will enable us as a network to further our work and knowledge in our gardens using the principles of permaculture.   This is the most sustainable way to grow food.  Once established the growing system is self regulating.  As a network we are really lucky to have a few local experts who have learned by trying out lots of techniques in their own gardens in Dundee.  We will be sharing their local knowledge and working to create a more sustainable way of growing with minimal impact.  Whether it's about water, temperature or biodiversity we hope to provide practical solutions.  Follow us on our journey through the months ahead. 

New for 2026- Permaculture Project

We have been delighted to participate in workshops alongside Bioregioning Tayside as we explore the ways we can help to reconnect people with nature and reorientate our activities to promote resilient environments and livelihoods.  Claire Cooper (Tayside growing map) sent out a short survey and hosted ‘live’ sessions to identify what we can do to strengthen food growing in Tayside.

We love hosting Christmas Wreath making Workshops but this year we went all out and did a slightly different workshop inspired by a book cover.  We created little decorative Christmas village scenes to brighten up the indoors.  

We are so delighted to have lots of knowledge about permaculture in the city of Dundee and many of our permaculture growers also work in the community growing network.  Permaculture is -the concept of utilising land, resources, people and the environment in a manner that doesn't produce any waste. Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share.

Our lovely Rachel led a brilliant workshop into the mysteries of using fermentation to preserve food.
