Fintry Community Garden is a new community garden being set up in the Fintry area of Dundee, Scotland. Dundee has several already established community gardens, however, none in this area, therefore we felt Fintry was missing something special. We believe that Fintry needs a green space, where people from all walks of life can come and enjoy a shared garden. That may be just for a walk through the garden, to come and relax or to come and volunteer to help out.
