Lochhead Social Garden Project

LCDT has been working on the Lochhead Avenue site for several years. We installed over 20 raised beds for growing vegetables. This has now evolved into a space which hosts the Lochwinnoch Community Larder operated by a local charity LEAP, which has become a thriving hub of community activity, offering dignified food provision to over 900 people in the area. A number of other groups also use the site for outdoor and childcare activities, including Wildcare, Lochwinnoch Force For Nature and a local Home Education group.

What we plan to do:

The main features of the plan are:

The Hub: The Community Larder and smaller cabin
Market / Large Event Space
Play / Workshops / Education
Growing Vegetables and Fruit
Pond & Wildlife
Community Orchard
