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.

Latest Garden News

New for 2026- Permaculture Project

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.

Get Growing Scotland is a website full of news, advice and information to help communities get started in food growing.  They share lots of stories and news about what is going on across Scotland.  We were delighted to see that they have featured the Maxwell Garden project called the Big Grow on their website.  The Big Grow is our local project aimed at supporting local families to grow their own fresh food.

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.
