ORGANISATION
Organised by: G3 Growers Community Garden
Enveloped by Argyle Street and Kent Road, through a lane in the tenements, you can find a vibrant inner-city community garden called G3 Growers. Fruit and vegetables are now grown in what used to be a usual city back court with only empty washing lines and stowed bins. There are two beds are dedicated to perennial herbs and soft fruits, and other three beds work on a crop rotation system. The Garden also counts on some dwarf trees, a polytunnel and a greenhouse. Members are welcome to bring their own fruit and veg waste to keep the compost bins all year round. Us members gather every Wednesday evening (6-8PM) and on the last Sunday of the month (1-3PM). With the sun and the good weather come the crops, so whoever is present at the session gets a slice of the produce harvested that evening. We love to share our recipes on our members' group chat.
