Organic allotment fund is growing
Our pot of money is growing for the
development of our organic allotment and
activity has now started at Bridgend Farm
just off Old Dalkeith Road.
We have already erected a Polytunnel so that the children can garden in all weathers with staff from HSBC helping to prepare the land prior to its installation.
Once the
allotment is complete it will help
the children to produce fruit and
vegetables from scratch, build
their confidence, and demonstrate
how much fun gardening can be.
So dig deep please and help us
make this project flourish.
Our fund is growing thanks to very generous donations. We are on target but must keep going to see the project complete. To find out how you can get involved please call cameron.henderson@royalblind.org or telephone 0131 228 1456.
