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 produce sales direct from the garden 5 days a week, open days and hands-on activities. The produce is certified as organic by the Scottish Organic Producers Association. H.O.P.E. works closely with Angus Council Social Work and with Angus College.
