Project Aim
We are a social enterprise based in Stirling which aims to provide people with community gardens, allotments and the skills to grow local food. We run permaculture courses and help groups and individuals to get their food growing projects off the ground.
Further details
Current projects:
Zero carbon veggies at the Albion Scullery, Princes Street, Stirling: We grow fossil fuel free (organically methods and transported by bicycle) produce in Stirling to supply a local eatery.
Stirling University Veg Garden: We are currently helping students at the local university to get a veg garden established on campus
Garden Share Stirling: We are about to launch a gardenshare scheme in Stirling, connecting people with gardens too big to manage with people who would like to get growing!
Affordable permaculture introduction courses and permaculture advice: for more info email Caroline
Inspiration
Outcomes so far
Obstacles, and how we overcame them
Heavy clay soil! Raised beds, planting potatoes in tyres, not even attempting to grow carrots! I think it will take lots and lots of organic matter and a few years down the line before we get a good yield
