Growing Together
We have a large amount of outdoor space here at Dudhope Castle that we are developing into a beautiful sensory and wildlife friendly garden and green space that people will come to relax, interact with local nature and socialise.
We offer a weekly garden volunteering workshop called Grow Curious. Uppertunity aims to develop the community both socially and environmentally and includes our members in this development.
Grow Curious runs on a Thursday and Friday from 10am to 12pm.
What do we do?
We are building several outdoor features to encourage visitors human and otherwise.
We grow herbs, vegetables, fruit and flowers. To promote biodiversity we try and plant a variety of native plants. We build outdoor art pieces and woodwork furniture using reclaimed materials.
Location
Our main base is in the gardens of Dudhope Castle, which we're working on developing into a multisensory garden!
We are building a trail around the castle to share a little of the history of the castle and lands around it. Each section will have a feature object, something to search for and some information about it.
