Community Orchard funding awarded for fruit trees at Gamrie Gardens

We’re delighted to have received £200 of Community Orchard funding from Scotmid to help us purchase fruit-bearing trees for Gamrie Gardens.

This support will help us continue growing our orchard and adding more edible, perennial planting to the land - something that feels very aligned with the long-term vision for the gardens. Fruit trees are such a meaningful investment, not just for now, but for years to come.

Through this funding, our trees will also become part of the wider Scotmid Community Orchard - a growing network of community orchards made up of thousands of trees across communities from the north of England to the Highlands of Scotland.

We’re very grateful for the support, and excited to choose and plant the next fruit trees that will become part of the garden here. Every tree adds something lasting: food, blossom, shelter, beauty, habitat, and future abundance.

This feels like an instrumental step in helping shape Gamrie Gardens as a place of community growing, biodiversity, and long-term nourishment.
