information DESCRIPTION

Granton Community Gardeners - Local people growing, cooking and eating food together.

We are a community led charity based in North Edinburgh.

We create and cultivate community gardens, host community meals and events, support anyone in the area who wants to grow food, and think creatively about how best to make sure everyone in our area is fed well.

Granton Community Gardeners was formed in early 2010 by a group of neighbours on Wardieburn Road who worked together to turn a neglected street corner into a community garden.

In Jan 2017 we became a charity. We aim to support gardening and especially anyone growing food in the area. We now work regularly in Granton Primary School, and host a free weekly community meal open to all.

We provide support to residents cultivating over 12 different community growing plots across Royston Wardieburn.

We host community events. And we try to support and encourage anyone who's got a great idea to make Granton better especially if it involves making sure everyone is fed well! Everything we've achieved has happened because someone has come along with a great idea and has acted on it.
