We are an entirely voluntary group who since May 2014 have nurtured and converted an acre of donated organic land in Camserney, Perthshire in to a vibrant biodynamic garden growing vegetables, herbs and flowers.
This beautiful space is enjoyed by humans and is home to many fellow nature beings. Each year there are certain costs we have to be able to stay biodynamic. This can be buying seeds, the preparations, repairing the polytunnel or shed, insurance for the garden to have visitors and sometimes bringing in extra help where we don't have the skills.
We want to continue to promote an understanding of innovative, biodynamic methods and provide vulnerable people in our community with the skills, support and space to train, volunteer and work.
We are committed to helping our local communities to eat well and to have a choice in the fresh food they can buy locally. As well as promoting biodynamic gardening as an environmentally sound choice for land and garden and the wider world. We also have a lot of soft fruit in the garden woven in next to other produce of the garden. For our tenth anniversary we have planted two cherry trees and we hope to add a plum tree soon.
This summer we're running a number of events to raise funds however we recognise that not everyone may be able to make it along. If you'd like to support our continued work at the Garden then this Crowdfunder is a way to do that.
