Gorebridge Community Garden
A garden for everyone
The Trust was grateful to have received 2 years of funding from Central Scotland Green Network to begin the creation of a Community Garden at the Beacon. Like all gardens, it will be a project never completed. So far, a wildlife area has been seeded, two raised beds built for veg growing, an orchard has been created and a play area for little ones. The garden welcomes you: to sit in, to read, to volunteer and to play.
