More Leith Community Crofting with Earth In Common

We are heading back to the Leith Community Croft with the go ahead to clear a larger patch to be used as an expanded market garden.

The Community Croft is run by Earth in Common and is a cornerstone of community growing in Leith. It was the first ever GoodGym Edinburgh task and we have agreed to try and visit at least once a month to support their incredible project.

After discussions about an overgrown patch in the top of the croft, the lead gardeners have agreed they'd like us to tackle it and bring it into functional use, expanding the market garden.

If you haven't joined a session with Earth in Common yet, this is also a chance to learn more about community gardening and growing, and how the work they makes an impact in the Leith community.

We'll be hands‑on and getting grubby. Gloves, trowels, spades, forks will be provided but if you have a headtorch we do recommend taking it as the days are getting darker!

As usual we will be meeting at Edinburgh Street Food at 6pm. There is the option to drop your bag there and there will be a 15% discount on food and drink for anyone wanting to hand around afterwards. Usually we get back around 8pm
