in our garden

Belville Community Garden Trust is a registered Scottish charity formed in  2014 by local people to bring community groups and individuals together in the east end of Greenock, Inverclyde.


Our organisation promotes a safer, stronger community around improving lifestyles, and health primarily through gardening, horticulture and healthy eating. We break down social barriers for young and old alike and offer the chance of new learning experiences, improved community relationships, a sense of pride in the environment and improved mental and physical wellbeing.


Since the opening in 2014, Belville Community Garden have developed a status within the community as a central food growing hub, organising and coordinating community groups and schools in growing projects. We also coordinate local schools, community arts and health projects.  The garden employs 1 full-time manager, 10 part-time staff and a range of local employment scheme placements.


The Belville Community Garden is open to the public with FREE access all through the year.
