The Beechgrove team are in the Mar Policies area of Alloa to kickstart a garden makeover with the Wimpy Park Community Group. Over the space of just a few days, the Wimpy Park community, together with just a little help from Beechgrove, transform a neglected walled garden and make it into an accessible space built by the community, for the community. At nearly three acres it’s a massive site, and with four areas in need of TLC, it’s a challenge that requires everyone to be mucking in, but the team are determined that the project makes it from design to done.
