Members of Maddiston Community Council, working alongside Falkirk Community Trust and Falkirk Council, are spearheading a growing area in Muiravonside Country Park that features an “edible corridor” of fruit and vegetables called the Scrumping Trail as well as a Community Orchard and individual plots where vegetables can be grown. This helps local people produce their own food in a sustainable low carbon way.

Support is needed to fund improvements to the growing initiative which is run entirely not for profit. The group want to install a natural water supply for the site, improving their opportunity to keep the plants growing without relying on mains water along with other developments including more equipment and seeds. By supporting them with this you are helping reduce the carbon footprint of local food and reducing the amount of chemicals and energy used because the water collected on site will not be treated in the same way as tap water.

Why not consider offsetting the environmental impact of any big journeys you are planning by plane, train or car with a donation to this project which is aimed at creating a sustainable low carbon food chain for local people?

If you are interested in renting a plot at the community growing space please email maddistoncc@gmail.com with your name and contact details.
