The Awards, which celebrate and reward communities for environmental action, are now in their third year. They are part of our wider ‘Greener Together’ campaign, which encourages everyone across the country to play their part in making Scotland a greener and more sustainable nation.

We plan to give new life to the underused garden at the back of Govanhill Baths Community Trust on Kingarth Street and develop a community garden space; a place of rest and reflexion. The project will create a ‘Wildlife Garden’ with wildflowers and innovative upcycled planters installation with a discreet tree seating.

We aim to work with local residents in partnership with South Seeds, Urban Roots to redesign the area to allow wildlife to flourish.

Our second ‘How to…’ guide booklet will be produced and an illustrator will sketch each sessions to provide drawings and step by step instructions.
