Gairn Community Garden has transformed an abandoned site near Gairn Terrace in Aberdeen into a vibrant and inclusive space for the whole community. With key infrastructure now in place, they now aim to begin beautifying the space to support wellbeing, biodiversity, and creativity with a Community Art project working with local nurseries, artists, and residents to deliver creative workshops that encourage self-expression, skill-building, and community connection, including painting murals, decorative panels, designing signage, garden sculptures, and interactive art features for children.
They also aim to transform the hill beside the garden into a pollinator-friendly ‘Bee Boulevard’ by planting wildflowers, bulbs, fruit trees, and shrubs to support bees and other wildlife, enhancing biodiversity and creating a beautiful, welcoming entrance to the garden.
