There are 2 allotments at Bridgend Community that are dedicated to the Ukrainian Community though not solely for them as other people are more than welcome to join. This allows people to grow crops and vegetables that they would harvest in their own country and offer therapeutic support to displaced people struggling in Edinburgh.
There is a poly tunnel on one that allows for planting and growing all year round.
This brings delight to all ages.
Description
The project wants to grow more fruit bushes and welcome more people by offering picnics and a place to meet outside and in the shade of the polytunnel and to encourage the support of others that are wanting to enjoy gardening and grow crops from their childhood. People can eat and enjoy the fresh produce as well as all the wonderful aromas that are created with the likes of tomatoes, strawberries, dill and mint. Fruit bushes offer more nutrition as well which benefit health and diet.
There is an opportunity for all ages to thrive in this space and enjoy the delights of investigating wildlife and planting and growing. A pond allows for more learning along with all the bugs in the area and the sharing of learning from the beekeepers that are near by. There is a requirement for more pond life and plants that benefit the climate in Edinburgh
There will be learning and sharing as people enjoy the beauty of the earth and its produce.
There can be crops that are not commonly harvested and food sharing as well as cooking of food and sharing time together.
There is an opportunity to reuse materials and build on what has been established rather than creating something new and many items are recycled and shared
There is a plan to look at developing education and learning with experts that can talk about growing in Edinburgh.
Tools, plants and cooking materials are required for this project
Location: This group , BUGG, is part of Bridgend Community Allotments that are supervised by CEC at EH16 4TE.
