COMMUNITY OPEN GARDENS, SHORTLEES

Motion Text

That this House congratulates Community Open Gardens Shortlees in Kilmarnock on its successful Awards for All Scotland grant of £8,415 from the Big Lottery Fund; commends the effort to bring a community garden to life in an urban environment; recognises the benefit and skills such a project can bring to the local community; notes there has been a general decline in interest for gardening; and hopes that this can help inspire local people from the younger generation.
