H.O.P.E trainee in polytunnel

Scottish charity  
no SCO 20928

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 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.
