Our growing idea – shared community land.

Regenerate Our Green Space continue to search for suitable green space in the Fortrose area to set up allotments and a community garden. The Scottish Land Fund have awarded us money to develop our ideas.

We’re at the very beginning of this adventure and need you to tell us what you’d like to see in a community owned and managed space dedicated to sustainable, environment-centred, positive community action.

Together we can create a useful and beautiful green place for people and wildlife.

We envisage growing flowers, vegetables, fruit and herbs, creating paths, seats, raised beds and landscaping features. Maybe a number of allotments, with sheds and plots. A community orchard and common growing spaces and kid’s veg plot where we can grow together, learn skills and share the harvest. Perhaps a herb garden where we can learn how plants can support our health. Or, a sensory garden created providing a peaceful haven.

To benefit our wildlife we can create wildlife corridors and havens by planting hedgerows, native trees and wild flowers.

Our preferred site sits at the centre of the town of Fortrose, we are enquiring about a plot adjacent to Fortrose Academy and the new care home, and is easily accessible to both villages.
