Knightswood Community Centre Garden update

Knightswood Community Centre has been looking to find out how interested the community would be in a community garden space at the Centre.

The Centre has been working with Glasgow Eco Trust on this project and the first step was to undertake a community survey. Thank you to everyone that completed the survey. We had a total of 94 responses and we are delighted there was overwhelming support that the garden was a good idea, as you can see image below.

We recently held a meeting at the Centre to feedback the initial results of the survey and discuss the next steps including setting up a small working group to take this project forward. You can download the presentation here https://www.knightswoodcentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/GET_KnightswoodGarden_SurveyFeedback-003.pdf

We will be hosting a further series of meetings and visits to other local growing spaces over the next two months with the aim of setting up the working group to take things forward.

If you would like to get involved in the project please speak to myself (Gordon) at the Centre or contact Glasgow Eco Trust office on 0141 433 0427 or hello@glasgowecotrust.org.uk

This community engagement work is supported by the Scottish Government’s Strengthening Communities Programme and Glasgow Eco Trust’s Food and Climate Action project and Community Connections for Climate Action project.
