Forth Valley Food Links

Among the many activities currently planned or underway are:

• A plastic bottle greenhouse and plot in  Langlees Primary School
•  Bainsford Parent Council is looking for a plot and greenhouse
• Langlees Family Centre’s ‘Souper’ Garden Families and staff at Langlees Family Centre are developing a vegetable garden to grow vegetables for their lunch.

Forth Valley Food Links has been assisting the centre to design the raised beds and plant a variety of vegetables that they can use to make soup for their lunch.  The young children enthusiastically planted peas, beans, potatoes and onions on a cold morning in April, and protected them from the frost with fleece. There will be another session to make paper pots and plant a variety of vegetable and herb seeds to take home, and bring on for the centre garden.
•  Abbotshaugh Community Woodland – The orchard was planted as a native woodland in three phases, Dalderse Farm Wood, March 1996, Farm Road Community Woodland 1998 owned by Scottish Water, and Coblebrae Community Woodland, 2000, owned by Falkirk Council.  The entire site is now harvested by locals and the wider public.  There is cane raspberry, elderflower / berry,  rosehips, bramble, rowan, hawthorn, and herbs.
•  BLAST Out-of-School Care’s plot at their base in Dawson 
• The YMCA has developed their garden
