H.O.P.E.
is a thriving organic garden on Scotland's east coast. It is an
environmentally friendly project, providing horticultural training
and work experience. All the trainees are people with learning
disabilities who live in the Angus area. The project also offers
the local community an ever-increasing range of organically grown
vegetables, fruit and garden plants.
H.O.P.E.
operates in the grounds of Hospitalfield House in Arbroath, a
coastal town between Dundee and Aberdeen. Under the visionary
leadership of garden supervisors, trainees and volunteers have
transformed an ordinary field into a mini-Eden. Rows of vegetables,
polytunnels bursting with life, fruit cages and greenhouses, a
wildlife pond and a colourful memorial garden combine to form
a diverse and ecologically balanced environment.
H.O.P.E.
has a positive and growing profile in the local community, offering
a home delivery vegetable box scheme, sales direct from the garden
5 afternoons per week, open days and hands-on activities. The
produce is certified as organic by the Soil Association. H.O.P.E.
works closely with Angus Council Social Work and with Angus College.
