Earth & Worms is a community-garden based in Tillydrone, Aberdeen where a range of fruits, vegetables and other plants are grown by volunteers. The community-garden has made amazing progress since it’s foundation during the Covid lockdowns, transforming an area of overgrown derelict land into a productive garden with a polytunnel, raised-beds, wildlife pond, composting stations, pizza oven, fruit trees and wildflower meadow. Earth & Worms also partakes in broader community engagement in Aberdeen by taking part in events such as Envirolution and responding to city-wide consultations. Out work is primarily delivered by a core-group of volunteers during occasional ‘work days’ and we also regularly host social events around the fire, such as winter solstice parties and apple pressing days.
The garden is entering an exciting new phase, with plans to refurbish our historic byre into a usable indoor space and add a compost toilet to better serve the local community. To support this work, we’re looking for a Treasurer and people with an interest or experience in communications to help spread the word about our activities.
