Fresh Start has four 'Growing Spaces' community gardens in Edinburgh, at Inchgarvie Court, Craigmillar, Lauriston Farm and Ferry Road Drive.

Volunteers and service users meet regularly to work together on growing fresh fruit and vegetables, enjoying physical work outside in the fresh air, socialising together, connecting with the local community, and running specialist workshops.

At Growing Spaces, we aim to

• Help people develop practical skills & self-confidence.
• Tackle social isolation.
• Create connectedness.
• Encourage and develop social interactions.
• Help people develop physical and mental wellness.

If you are interested in helping us deliver our gardening services as a volunteer or know of someone who would benefit from getting involved, please contact admin@freshstartweb.org.uk.
