Community Garden

Often planted on public or formerly abandoned land and run by volunteers who cultivate food, flowers and closer relationships to nature and one another. Sometimes fenced and locked or threatened by development, but generally open to all participants, raising the quality of life in the community, and improving habitat, air and soil quality at the same time. Some gardens serve a specific need such as supplying produce for local Food Banks.

Brian's Food Bank Garden

Before he passed away in 2019, Brian Glaspell cultivated this garden for many years, donating the majority of the produce to the PT Food Bank, usually about 5,000 lbs per year. His wife, Jeanie, was very happy to discover the Food Bank Growers organization and host the return of the garden's ability to provide for the food bank.

Homestead Harvest Community Garden

Green St Boswells

A group of St Boswells folk come together to volunteer their time and skills to enhance our local environment for the benefit of all, including looking after planters, improving biodiversity to benefit pollinators, some small scale food growing and tidying forgotten corners.

St Boswells Primary Garden and Green Space

Small school garden set in wider grounds with ongoing development through a Green Space Project. Currently within the garden are perennial borders, 3 raised beds with a focus on edible plants and a plan to create a sensory garden over the coming season. In addition, around the playing field there is a “hidey hedge” recently planted from native hedging species, a wildflower meadow, a community orchard and a small copse of birch trees. It is hoped that through development of the Green Space, the whole community will benefit be that through involvement in the project or the use of the space. The Eco Team, made of primary children from each year group, work hard each week on projects. Find more information on our progress with #stboswellsinspires or through Green St Boswells Facebook.
