Garden group given cash to help it grow
A West Lothian gardening group has been given a cash boost as part of Celebrating Community Garden Week.
The week, which runs until Sunday (April 10) aims to shine a light on the amazing range of community and school gardens across the country.
And as part of its ongoing commitment to working in partnership with local communities, Taylor Wimpey East Scotland has donated £1000 to the Winchburgh Community Growing Group.
Taylor Wimpey’s support of the Winchburgh Community Growing Group, which has its community garden based right in the heart of Winchburgh’s newly formed Auldcathie District Park, marks its ongoing commitment to Winchburgh as work gets underway at its new development at Auldcathie View which overlooks the new park.
Commenting on the support that it has received from Taylor Wimpey, John West, who heads up the Winchburgh Community Growing Group said: “We are extremely grateful for this generous donation received from Taylor Wimpey, and we can’t thank them enough for their support of our community garden.
“We have all become very well aware of the importance of green open space and the role that gardens in particular can play in supporting wellbeing for everyone. Taylor Wimpey’s donation of £1000 will help us to continue to develop our community garden as a welcoming outdoor space for local people and visitors to the town to benefit from.”
Taylor Wimpey East Scotland is delighted to offer its support as Kirsty McGill, sales and marketing director added: “To celebrate Community Garden Week, which recognises the importance and the positive impact that community gardens can have, we are proud to offer our support to Winchburgh Community Growers and their impressive new community garden which enjoys a key location within the new Auldcathie District Park.
“Community gardens have an incredible ability to bring people together and we know this community garden is already providing a great resource for the local community, and we’re looking forward to seeing it continue to grow and flourish. We do more than just build highquality homes. Being able to work with local community groups and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal.”
