We started the Children’s Garden in 2004 and this year we’ll be celebrating 10 years of us helping Children Grow. The Children’s Garden is a great place for Children and their Families.

The Children's Garden has developed as a great place for children, friends and families. It's where you can play with your friends, plant seeds, water the plants, for games and cool outdoor stuff. We also harvest, cook and share some of the food that grows here.

Celebrating 10 years of the Children’s Garden

But it's also a place for the whole community to share - parents, grandparents and volunteers all help to make this work  It's a space which schools and organisations working with children can use for a whole range of uses.

The Children’s Garden works with schools and community groups across Glasgow and also other parts of Scotland.

Our aim is to help schools develop food growing as part of the outdoor learning.

The Children’s Garden is a community led space - and we depend on volunteers and help from many people. Please help us make the garden grow

Our aims are to promote good healthy food, healthy outdoor exercise, friendship, arts and music, and to support schools (but not necessarily all at the same time!) In the ten years of The Children’s Garden we've done some of that, but there's plenty of scope to develop this remarkable project further.
