Friends
of the Earth Falkirk invite you to join them working on their town
centre gardens from 11am this Saturday 16 March. Please meet at the Bean
Row urban allotment off Cow Wynd, dress appropriately and bring any
tools you may have.
Friends of the Earth Falkirk has “Big” plans for its gardens this year
Following
the huge success of its town centre gardens last year, Friends of the
Earth Falkirk are delighted to announce that they are the only group in
Scotland to register with the UK-wide Big Dig campaign. On Saturday 16
March 2013, people all over Britain will work in urban community gardens
with the aim
of involving local people in creating vibrant community food gardens,
which can reduce anti-social behaviour, provide fresh, healthy food and
put pride into communities
Norman
Philip, the coordinator of the group said, “We would invite people to
join us from 11 am at our urban allotment on Bean Row. We will be
tidying the allotment as well as working on our herb patch outside Asda
and our wildflower border on Arnot Street, outside the Polish club. No
experience is needed and people of any age will be made welcome.”
Friends
of the Earth Falkirk maintain four gardens in the town centre through
the council’s orphan land project. The urban allotment on Bean Row (off
Cow Wynd) was particularly successful last year and culminated in the
group organising a soup and stovies day for everyone involved – the main
ingredients having been grown on site.
The Big Dig is coordinated nationally by Sustain: the alliance for better food and farming.
