Leith Community Growers is a small community group that works in the Leith Walk area. We aim to create accessible communtiy- and greenspace in and around Leith. That involves building planters and bat boxes, creating new gardens, growing spaces and wildlife habitats, organising various workshops, seed swaps and harvest festivals or giving out free community meals. We have regular drop-in gardening sessions at the Meanwhile Site with lots of regular and occasional volunteers, who are passionate about local food and growing projects.
Our grassroots project works in one of the most densely populated areas of Edinburgh in spaces that have been previously underused or abandoned as green spaces. In partnership with a number of other Leith based organisations we provide various workshops, support marginalized groups through gardening sessions and give away home-growing kits to housebound older adults across our community. We also partner with local organisations working with women experiencing racial inequality, groups of isolated men and those who do not have access to gardens, growing areas or green space in their homes or street.
