About the organisers:

The Wash House Garden are a Workers Co-operative of Queer Community Growers, stewarding a beautiful piece of land in East Glasgow. We seek to actively contribute to the struggles for food sovereignty and land justice in Glasgow, Scotland and beyond.

The Wash House Garden was borne out of a desire to feel a sense of mutual support and solidarity in a society in which communities have been decimated across the generations, and to grow and eat delicious food that nourished body and soul, soil and planet in spite of our globalised, environmentally damaging, and frankly bland modern food system.

Faced with these at times overwhelming issues, and in the hope of inspiring ripples of change, here in Glasgow’s East End we are taking a small step in the direction we would like to see our society, environment and economy move in.

Glasgow Community Food Network's Food and Climate Action project, funded by The National Lottery, the Food & Climate Action Project is a five year partnership between Glasgow Eco Trust, St Paul’s Youth Forum, Central and West Integration Network, The Wash House Garden & Urban Roots, and is led by Glasgow Community Food Network.

The FCA project aims to co-design alongside communities a kinder, fairer & more resilient food system for Glasgow.

Project activity spans across 3 main strands of work: Movement Building, Food Education & Urban Agriculture.
