Community Gardens

Community gardens: these are run by community groups or organisations and usually have their own committee. They may have growing space that you can use, or may prefer that people muck in and help out with communal growing. For more information on existing community gardens, or setting up your own, please contact [e-mail](link sends e-mail), telephone [phone]. Resources and further information: Food growing is supported in Scottish law by the Community Empowerment Act 2015(link is external) which requires local authorities to produce a Food Growing Strategy for the city. National support for allotment growing comes from the Scottish Allotment Gardens Society(link is external). Support for community growing is from Social Farms and Gardens(link is external). We recommend that food growing projects avoid the use of peat altogether. Most compost sold in the UK contains large amounts of peat unless specifically labelled as ‘peat-free’. Discovery compost is a locally-produced, peat-free, recycled alternative available from the Riverside recycling centre on Wright Avenue.社区菜园：此类设施由社区团体或组织运营，通常设有专属管理委员会。其既可提供可供个人使用的种植地块，也欢迎民众协力参与，共同开展公共种植活动。若欲了解现有社区菜园的相关信息，或有意自行筹建社区菜园，请联系：[e-mail]（发送电子邮件链接），电话：[phone]。 资源与拓展信息：苏格兰《2015年社区赋权法案》（外部链接）为食品种植提供法律保障，该法案要求地方当局为辖区制定食品种植战略。全国性小块菜地种植的扶持工作由苏格兰菜园协会（外部链接）负责，社区种植相关扶持则由社会农场与园艺组织（外部链接）提供。 我们建议所有食品种植项目完全禁用泥炭。英国市场上售卖的大部分堆肥均含有大量泥炭，除非其明确标注为"无泥炭"。Discovery堆肥是一款本地生产的无泥炭回收替代堆肥，可在赖特大道的河畔回收中心购得。
