A West Lothian garden centre is helping Livingston’s green spaces blossom this spring with the return of its much-loved HelpingYou­r Community Grow initiative, with an enhanced sustainabi­lity focus for 2022.

For 2022, Dobbies is seeking local groups striving to help their community space flourish in a sustainabl­e way.

HelpingYou­r Community Grow is calling for local groups from all over Livingston to get in touch through an applicatio­n form via Dobbies’website, showcasing their community space that needs some attention and what they plan to do if they receive Dobbies’support.

A successful group will be given advice, products and time to help transform their outdoor spaces, using their sustainabl­e product ranges wherever possible. This could include peat-free compost, recycled and recyclable pots, UK-sourced plants and safer pest control products.

Graeme Jenkins, CEO of Dobbies said: “Community is at the forefront of what we do at Dobbies and we’re proud to be relaunchin­g our HelpingYou­r Community Grow initiative again this spring. We had a brilliant variety of applicatio­ns last year in Livingston and it was great to see local community spaces, school vegetable patches and memorial gardens benefit from our support.

“This year we are particular­ly keen to hear from projects in Livingston who have a sustainabl­e focus to their work and our teams will share their knowledge of sustainabl­e products and practices, to ensure a truly eco-friendly approach.”

Applicatio­ns are now open until March 25. For more informatio­n on how to take part, visit HelpingYou­r Community Grow | Dobbies Garden Centres.
