We have organised a Glasgow/ West Coast Grow your own hustings event at the Castlemilk Stables Orchard on the 27th April. See the attached invite. I am working to finalise an Edinburgh / East Coast Hustings - and will circulate info on that later.
If people can send out to their networks please, and especially to pass on to Holyrood candidates that may be interested.
I am hoping that folk involved in community food growing, grow your own and my interest, orchards, will be able to meet up with Holyrood parliament candidates and have a discussion about how to do more to get Glasgow, and West Scotland growing.
Th' apples ur gynormous.
The Children's Orchard at the Stables is just coming into blossom, and we hold that this will be a constructive and enjoyable evening (There is an indoor wet weather option) There is public transport very close to the stables - and I am getting details of that, which I'll be able to supply.
Otherwise lift sharing may be an option.
I'd be pleased if representatives of different Glasgow Growing projects would be able to say a bit about their growing projects, and also be able to brief candidates about what Holyrood can usefully do to help. I'd like to keep the proceedings friendly and informal and focused on how to make progress. We'll have a marketplace table for leaflets and information.
I'd be very happy to have help in organising this - and I'd be grateful if you could circulate to your networks
