Glespin Community Garden Case Study

Glespin Gardeners Group

This project aims to create a community garden on land adjacent to the local primary school and community hall in Glespin, near Lanark in South Lanarkshire. Based on a design that highlights the industries of mining, haulage and rail that helped shape the village, the garden will provide unique opportunities for villagers to learn new horticultural and landscaping skills. An informal food basket will be established for the community and a range of fruit and vegetables will be grown and picked by both children and adults. Clydesdale Community Initiatives, who support individuals with a range of learning difficulties and mental health issues, will also work in partnership with the project.
