The Mull of Galloway Trust is delighted to announce that their application for funding has been successful and the Trust have been awarded £2,500 from Grow Wild for the old Lightkeepers’ Garden Project.
Grow Wild is an exciting four-year campaign to bring people and communities together to sow, grow and support UK native wild flowers. Funded by the Big Lottery Fund and led by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Grow Wild aims to inspire people to get together to transform unloved urban sites, gardens and windowsills into wildlife-friendly wild flower patches.
Plans include the creation of a living willow sculpture in the Lightkeepers’ Garden, which will be starting in March. RSPB Scotland has offered some funding and the help of two volunteers twice a week. There will a raised vegetable bed to enable visitors to see how traditional local vegetables grow. A small play area for children will be created and lots of bug hotels. Staff and pupils from Drummore Primary School and local volunteers are looking forward to getting involved.
Volunteers are very welcome to help with this project, if you would like to be involved, please send an email to [email protected]
