Kilmacolm Eco Space exists to advance the physical, mental, social, and environmental wellbeing of the community in Kilmacolm. We aim to do that by developing a sustainable community garden and growing space that provides access to nature, growing opportunities, and other outdoor activities, where local residents of all ages and abilities can increase their skills, well-being and confidence. A dedicated growing space will nourish the community who use it, and the wildlife it supports. Our activities are intended to benefit people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities . residents with smaller or no private gardens. local Schools and Youth groups. neighbours who might otherwise be isolated. and of course, pollinators, invertebrates, and birds. While we continue to pursue a lasting location for our growing space in Kilmacolm, we undertake a wide range of outreach activities and offer volunteering opportunities as well as partnering with a Primary School.
