    Opportunity

    About this opportunity:Grow West Fife is a community garden based in the walled garden of Blair Castle, just outside Culross. They run three weekly gardening sessions where they grow food and new friendships for all. They teach people to grow and cook their own food and share their home-grown harvest with anyone in need. They cook and serve their produce at their weekly Friday lunch clubs and at lunch breaks in volunteer sessions. They are always looking for new volunteers who can dig in and play their part in making everyone feel welcome. Volunteers can help with gardening and growing, cooking, or any other activity that they would like within the garden. You don't have to have any gardening or cooking skills - you can learn with them.
