The Concrete Garden is an urban community food growing, play and wellbeing project providing growing space, activities, events and volunteering opportunities for the people of Possilpark and the wider North Glasgow area. We work alongside local folk to create a healthier, happier Possilpark by creating opportunities to grow, work, socialise, play and learn together.

Our Projects

The Concrete Garden charity began in 2010 with our flagship site here at the St Matthew’s Centre. Since then, the organisation has grown and we have lots of projects for you to get involved in!

There are loads of ways you can get involved!  You can come along to our weekly Social Gardening sessions at both the Concrete Garden and the Back Garden or lend a hand at our volunteer action days.
