COMMUNITY GARDENS

Our Community Garden Group continue their brilliant work in the grounds of Lochwinnoch Parish Church. The Group has 28 active members but the work they carry out is of benefit to the whole community; As well as being an educational resource for the local primary school, the group are the local Bloom organisers with numerous planters throughout the village and horticultural input into features such as the War Memorial.

This year the Gardens grew vegetables which were distributed through the Community Larder in food parcels to those in need. They also ran a very successful plant sale over the Summer which was invaluable to many during a period when the nurseries elsewhere were closed. Come and visit us this year when we shall be selling bedding plants and veg seedlings again. We have also installed picnic benches which are there for community use.
