Organic Growers of Fairlie -Come Visit Us

COME VISIT US

We have managed to create a Community Garden on a VERY polluted site and have ended up with a garden and a social asset.

Eglinton Gardeners

Visitors are welcome to the garden even on a casual 'passing-by-the door' basis (see How to Find Us page) however please note that if no gardeners are in the garden then the gate is usually locked. In the summer in the evenings and at weekends then someone will likely be there. If travelling a distance or you are part of a large group please contact us first (see Contact Us page) and we can usually arrange for someone to show you around (and also have the kettle on!)

See below for a list of those groups who have already come to see us and (hopefully) left inspired..
