Penicuik Food Project is at last underway.

A public meeting at 7.30 pm on Tuesday January 24th 2012 in Penicuik Town Hall

will bring back together the many enthusiastic gardeners who backed the proposal to restore productive food growing the upper walled garden of Penicuik Estate. After the best part of three years waiting for the administration and lawyers to sort out the lease, we can now hopefully start what will be a very long-term task of clearing the ground, restoring buildings and making best use of the garden to grow Penicuik’s fresh fruit and vegetables locally. Everyone interested and prepared for active involvement is very welcome.
