Breathing new life into Gorgie Community Farm

Breathing new life into Gorgie Community Farm

Gorgie City Farm is remembered fondly by everyone. Now re-emerged as Gorgie Community Farm, the location is being revitalised by a new team. As trustees, gardeners and volunteers breathe life into the space, focusing initially on the community garden, it's packed full of potential to bring back an essential green space for the area.

I went along to meet the people transforming it, to find out what they've been doing and to talk about the future. As volunteers return and we head towards Spring, it was a great time to find out what's planned.
