Scotland Partnerships
Until June 2012 FCFCG was working in partnership with Trellis and the Allotments Regeneration Initiative (ARI) on the Big Lottery funded Growing Communities in Scotland project, which aimed to promote and support community gardens, city farms and therapeutic gardens in Scotland. Although the funding for this project has now finished and ARI is being wound up we are continuing to work closely with Trellis to offer joint networking and training events.
We also support other initiatives which bring benefits to communities in Scotland.
Scotland Publications
Scottish community garden starter pack: Specifically written for Scotland, it covers the often complex issues that can arise when setting up or developing a community garden, with advice on topics ranging from legal obligations and fundraising to negotiating for a site and employing staff. New members will automatically be sent this pack along with a number of other useful documents. Non-members can order a copy from our Scotland office for £6.
