Grow West Fife

Charity registered in Scotland SC051026

Grow West Fife is a community garden based in the walled garden of Blair Castle, just outside Culross. It began when a small group of volunteers came together during the pandemic to grow food for local people in need. Their mission is to help local communities live healthily and sustainably by creating a productive, environment-friendly and beautiful fruit and vegetable garden, where everyone is welcome - mental wellbeing and social inclusion are at the heart of what they do. They run several gardening sessions every week as well as a wide range of free workshops, cooking sessions, ‘field to fork’ sessions and regular community meals. They are also trying to do their bit to save the planet with increased biodiversity, natural growing, seed saving and a range of events and activities.


Current opportunity

Grow West Fife is a community garden based in the walled garden of Blair Castle, just outside Culross. They run three weekly gardening sessions where they grow food and new friendships for all. They teach people to grow and cook their own food and share their home-grown harvest with anyone in need. They cook and serve their produce at their weekly Friday lunch clubs and at lunch breaks in volunteer sessions. They are always looking for new volunteers who can dig in and play their part in making everyone feel welcome. Volunteers can help with gardening and growing, cooking, or any other activity that they would like within the garden. You don’t have to have any gardening or cooking skills – you can learn with them.
