Do you have difficulty looking after your garden? Could you share it with someone who will care for and use it?
Or perhaps you’d like to grow fruit, vegetables or flowers but don’t have access to a garden?
PEDAL is working with Care and Repair Edinburgh to run a garden share scheme in Portobello. This matches garden owners with volunteers who are looking for a bit of space to grow things on. Folk who are anxious because their gardens are getting out of hand can find help from volunteers, and could also receive an agreed share of the produce. Volunteers looking for somewhere to grow their own can enjoy a safe, rent free space in return for some of the produce or a bit of help with tending the garden.
If you or someone you know would like to find out more, please contact us.
Alternatively, for more information contact Peter Upton, Food Worker, at peter [at] pedal-porty [dot] org [dot] uk or on 0131 258 4483.
Hello, I have a reasonably garden back and front. I havea busy life and can barely manage one. I would love someone too take over the front. Flowers, fruit, veg, whatever would be thier pleasure. However I live in Port Seton, any help you can give me to finding a partner, I would be most grateful, Best wishes. Martine
Hi Martine, our scheme has now closed and was run in partnership with Care & repair Edinburgh. So I’m really sorry but not sure we help.
Kind regards,
Tom
