Activities

'It carries out activities or services itself'

'the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended'

We provide a communal garden for growing together. It has six growing areas, a polytunnel and a sensory garden. Our lead gardener is on site twice a week, when we encourage volunteers to come and work by sowing, planting, harvesting produce which is available to local people and food outlets for a small donation. Those already with skills can work unsupervised and would-be gardeners can learn alongside these folk. There are other handy person tasks which need doing. Everyone is welcome to just come and sit in the space, socialize or come to plant swap and BBQ events. We regularly communicate with the community through FaceBook and the local newsletter, so folk know what is going on and how they can get involved.

Objectives: 4 The organisation's purpose is to: Provide recreational facilities in the form of a community garden to improve the condition and wellbeing of peoples' lives in the Waternish peninsula on the Isle of Skye
