Let’s grow together…
@ The Community Garden
Our Garden
Since 2020 we’ve leased the 0.9 hectare field tucked away behind St. Mary’s Church on West Hillbank. Our Community Garden is only a 5 minute walk from Kirriemuir town centre. You can find us by following directions on Google Maps.
We grow a lot of vegetables and also are introducing cut flowers this year – as well as maintaining our more established herb and flower beds and wild areas! The garden is a place to connect with people and enjoy the space as well as working to achieve our goals for the year.
Volunteer Sessions
Monday 10am-12noon or 1pm-3pm and Wednesday 10am-12noon.
If you’d like to volunteer your time, please submit an Application Form and one of our team will be in touch for a chat and to arrange a trial session.
Find us on West Hillbank, Kirriemuir, DD8 4HX. what3words: avocado.person.excellent
Buy Our Produce
An important part of what we do is making local, seasonal food available to everyone. In 2025 we grew 600kg of produce! The produce is sold to the public, with all proceeds being invested back into continuing to develop the garden.
You can buy our fresh produce direct from the garden; join our Produce WhatsApp Group for updates on what’s available each week. Our produce is often also available to buy from our local zero-waste shop, A Longer Table CIC, on Kirriemuir High Street.
Volunteer at the Community Garden
Our Project Officer Zoe leads volunteer sessions at the garden on Mondays and Wednesdays. We’re a friendly bunch who love a cup of tea and a giggle, in amongst lots of hard, but satisfying, work!
If you’re interested in joining our volunteer team please submit a Volunteer Application Form and Zoe will be in touch. No experience necessary; we always have a range of jobs, no matter your ability. All we ask is that you have a willingness to get involved and work alongside the other volunteers.
We asked our current volunteers why they volunteer at the Community Garden:
“To learn new skills.”
“To meet new, likeminded people.”
“It’s great for mental and physical health!”
“It’s a fun way to keep busy.”
“To make a difference in our community.”
“To spend time outdoors in the fresh air.”
Volunteering with SK
I volunteer at the Community Garden because it makes me feel good! I learn, I socialise, I get a blast of fresh air and some well needed exercise. For a small contribution of my time I get the huge pay off of feeling great both mentally and physically.
The Community Garden
I volunteered way back at the beginning during the setting up of the Community Garden. Over the years we’ve seen the transformation from a grassy field to one with defined beds and growing areas. I’m always learning more about gardening, meeting new people and getting out in the fresh air. The produce is always a nice reward too; what’s not to like!
Volunteering at the Community Garden
I’ve been a regular community garden volunteer since the early days. I always enjoy the combination of physical work, being part of a team and working to build a growing centre with community at its heart for Kirrie. I’m glad we grow in a sustainable way that gives lots of space to nature and offers folk healthy food that isn’t covered in plastic for an affordable price. I feel a real buzz when I take home a share of the veg or fruit we’ve harvested or sell it to the local community. Great that there are zero food miles too!
