Drop in to find out more about how to get involved and volunteer with the project - Wednesday 11th November 10am!Over a year ago, 12 planters - as part of the Denis Law trail - were installed around the Printfield area of Aberdeen. These planters were bought and established with funding from the Denis Law Trust.
Aberdeen City Council's Environmental services helped install them around the area. The responsibility of maintaining them was taken on by Printfield Community Projects Management Committee.
The project's Family Development Worker applied for - and received - £330 of Eco Funding to maintain the planters, and during the second week of October a local volunteer cleared out the weeds and dead plants from the 12 boxes. It was agreed at a Printfield Project Management Committee meeting that part of the Eco Funding will be used to buy and establish new plants for next year's growing season.
As part of a youth work project, the local children have agreed to maintain the planters over the next few years. This commitment will encourage new skills and awareness of the natural world.
As part of the initiative to re-establish the planters, the Project has just bought plants.
If you are interested in finding out more about how to get involved and volunteer with the project then you are invited to drop by the Printfield Community Project and have a look around on Wednesday 11th November at 10am. The project is located at community flats: Flats A & B, 11 Printfield Walk, Aberdeen AB24.
