“As your life changes and things change, you can find a place for yourself here. That’s what I love about it” – Winnie Anderson, Chair of Trustees at Tullibody Community Garden.
Earth Day is a chance to bring attention to local action and protect the land that feeds us. Community groups, local businesses and networks across Clackmannanshire work hard to build a food system that are healthy and climate resilient.
Tullibody Community Garden is a hidden gem, sat between Carseview and Patterson Place in Tullibody – Helping locals connect with nature and improve mental health.
“The Garden has been great for me, last year after recovering from an operation I gave myself goals and one of them was to get back here” – Shug, Volunteer
Ran by volunteers, trustees and staff, the garden is a place for everyone to get involved. Whether you are an experienced planter or trying it for the first time. Tullibody Community Garden is a space for all to get connected and develop your skills.
The need for local action matters now more than ever, in 2024 Scotland generated a staggering 2.32 million tonnes of household waste.
Supporting local growers, getting involved and making small changes can create a large impact.
