A Community Growing Initiative
On 7 June, OSF was awarded the Green Award Runner-up prize from WEA Scotland for our provision of free adult gardening classes in Aberdeen city and shire! Our good friends at Bonnymuir Green were awarded the first place prize for all the amazing work they do to promote education and sustainability.
It’s time for our 2024 Shoebox Garden competition! We can’t wait to see all your entries. Gardens may be submitted by children age 16 and under and are due on June 28, 2024. Submit your photos to either our One Seed Forward or OSF Garden Schools Facebook, or email them to oneseedforward@gmail.com!
