Frequently Asked Questions > Allotments, Backgreens and Community Gardens > I'd like to start a community garden in Leith. How do I do it?

Search the FAQ for entries containing:

There are at least two community gardens in Leith already, and there are also a number of projects based in public parks that rely on volunteers to keep going. All of these projects could do with some extra volunteer involvement, so first of all our advice is to consider whether you could volunteer for one of the existing community gardens in Leith - rather than establishing a new one.

If you know you'd like to set-up a new community garden, or you would like to find out about existing volunteer opportunities, please contact us and we'll see what we can do to help.
