Urban Roots - Toryglen

I love this little green house, which is built in the grounds of Toryglen Primary school. It's constructed out of empty 2 litre juice bottles, which the children at the school have collected over a period of three or four months. Urban Roots took on the project and with help from some volunteers built the greenhouse along with two school gardens. The greenhouse above will be used to grow plants from seed for the garden.

Urban Roots is a community led organisation in Toryglen, Glasgow. Who are committed to working with local people on projects that improve the environment, health and nutrition work and environmental arts.

Their volunteer teams take on lots of different projects such as transforming derelict or unused green spaces into thriving, blossoming community gardens where we grow herbs and vegetables, fruit and flowers. Not only does this make the area look more attractive, it also helps to create more used, social and safe places and community resources.
