Community garden opens in Belle Isle

20 September 2022

The new West Grange Road Community Garden launches on Saturday 24 September. You can visit between 10am-12pm. We will be planting spinach, garlic and onions in our first two planters. It’s a big site and there is still a lot of time to get involved and make decisions. When should it be open? What should we plant? Should there be seating and a shelter?
Can you help run the site and teach others to grow fruit and vegetables? Would you like to come and learn how to grow them?
All these questions and more will be discussed at the open day on 24 September.

Directions: the community garden is near the site of the old West Grange Club and near the Sporty Space MUGA.
From the sorting office, head along West Grange Drive, turn left up West Grange Road and you will find us on the left after West Grange Close.
From Belle Isle Parade, go along Winrose Crescent until the end and then turn right onto West Grange Road. You will find us on the right, opposite the entrance to Lonsdale Close.
For more information call BITMO on 0113 378 2190.

BITMO’s Board has opened a new Winter Warmth Fund for this winter. The Board understand the cost of living crisis that is affecting many people and have allocated money from their budget to pay for goods that can help you and your family keep warm this winter.

BITMO households in need of extra support can apply for a winter warmth pack which will contain large fleecy sherpa blankets, hot water bottles with covers and fleecy socks, with the amounts depending on how many people are in our household.
