Hutchison Neighbourhood Garden

 

The Hutchison garden has been a real labour of time and love, and it’s success since work began in 2023 is thanks to the hard work of a dedicated group of residents who wanted to transform their local greenspace and grow food in a place that could bring the community together – and they’ve done just that!

‘We’ve met a lot of neighbours who we’d never met before’ – from an STV news segment on the garden, which you can watch here.

The project is home to around 47 gardeners, who have done a fantastic job of self-building the garden with the support of Community Gardener Gaby. 2024 marked their first growing season, and the group were delighted with their abundant harvest. They’ve also made a real effort to organise some lovely events for the community throughout the year, including BBQs. fetes, quizzes, and bookbug sessions for kids. Everyone is welcome at these events – which have been a great chance for neighbours to get to know one another and relax in a beautiful outdoor space – with plans for many more in the future.

Fun Fact: There are at least 13 different nationalities in the garden, which has meant the chance to try a wide-range of amazing dishes and flavours at community BBQs!

The group have their own Facebook Page – have a look for info about upcoming events.
