Welcome to Shettleston Growing Project
SCGP was set up in 2009 by local people who wished to grow food for themselves and their families.
What began as a single growing site has expanded into neighbouring land, creating a vibrant community space with 50 raised beds where local residents can grow their own fresh fruit and vegetables. The site also features a welcoming community garden and a wildlife garden complete with a pond, encouraging biodiversity and providing a peaceful green space for everyone to enjoy.
The strong partnership between Shettleston Housing Association and the Shettleston Community Growing Project has also led to a range of wider community initiatives. Through volunteering opportunities, local people are encouraged to take part in gardening and grounds maintenance activities that support health, wellbeing and social connection. Guided by experienced community gardeners, volunteers can develop practical skills, build confidence and gain valuable experience that may help them move into further training or employment.
