Volunteering at Woodlands Community Garden

The Multiplex University of Glasgow Campus Development project team spent an afternoon volunteering at the Woodlands Community Garden.

Woodlands Community Garden is a transformed derelict urban gap site into a thriving community garden and “outdoor community centre”.  The garden has over 50 raised beds where local people can grow their own food, with beds allocated on an annual basis. The garden also acts as a therapeutic space that helps people to recover from the stresses and strains of everyday life.

6 members of staff were tasked with painting, building planters, weeding and landscaping.

“It was great to have you over and you all did a brilliant job in the garden and along West Princes St, I’m glad you got a proper sunny day for your visit. Please pass on my thanks to everyone, their efforts are much appreciated by all at Woodlands.” Jerry Hutchinson, Woodlands Community Garden
