We are currently looking for volunteers for our open volunteer days on Thursdays. Volunteers will drop in any time between 10am - 5pm and spend time cultivating the market garden and beautifying the Croft. This is not only a good opportunity to get involved in our community, but also a great way to get hands-on experience of gardening and DIY crafts led by our education officers. Spend time outside, learn something and meet great folks!
Leith Community Crops in Pots aims to grow vegetables and flowers for pollinating insects, in urban spaces, in order to improve health and wellbeing, community cohesion and the environment.
