Sow It, Grow It, Eat It, Love It

In 2015, Glentrool & Bargrennan Community Trust and volunteers applied for funding to transform a neglected part of outdoor space surrounding the old school building, now the Glentrool Hive.

The Sow It, Grow It, Eat It, Love It project was aimed at protecting and improving biodiversity by planting nectar rich flowers, herbs, heritage vegetables and fruit to increase habitats and food for wildlife. It also served the community as a whole by promoting physical activity through building and maintaining the garden and improving wellbeing by offering opportunities to volunteer, learn new skills and socialise.

A lot of work and many volunteer hours have gone into the development of the community garden and village green. We now have a space to sit and enjoy nature, socialise and grow our own produce.
