Community garden week 2025 celebrates the amazing community and school gardens across the UK and will take place from the 31st of March – 6th April.
Community gardens and school gardens come in a myriad of shapes, sizes and styles. They all have a different heart and a unique mission. What each one of them has in common though, is the ability to bring people together using the power of nature to inspire, heal and make people happy.
While #CommunityGardenWeek may only last 7 days, there are many ways you can get involved in community gardens in the Scottish Borders throughout the year.
Why not check out the interactive map that shows you where all the gardens are Scottish Borders Food Growing Sites and get involved.
