Improving our outdoor social space by planting fruit, vegetables, herbs and sensory plants. Developing it into a productive garden to supply food for cooking groups and the weekly pantry. Gathering local people in an intergenerational way, tackling social isolation, becoming more invested in their local greenspace and centre.

We will expand PEP’s community garden to grow fresh, sustainable food for local people. With greenhouses, tools, and a sessional gardener, the project will support volunteering, improve wellbeing, and reduce food insecurity – aligning with Edinburgh’s Net Zero and Anti-Poverty goals whilst strengthening community connection through inclusive, hands-on growing activities.
