A COMMUNITY garden in Greenock is set to be a space for learning thanks to a local finance firm lending a hand.

Inverclyde Community Food Network has been working closely with Rig Arts to enhance the Drying Green outdoor space at South West Library.

They were recently supported by Succession Wealth in Gourock who stepped in to help build a vital polytunnel to grow fruit and veg.

Succession staff  turned up on the day to help build the framework, paint the walls and turn the compost.

Inverclyde Community Food Network development worker Julie Anson said: "We would like to thank Succession Wealth for all their support. 

"The polytunnel is part of our aim to make the Drying Green an education garden, with workshops and information signage on composting, wormeries, natural grown fertilisers, mushroom growing, dig versus no dig experiment, linseed growing, sensory gardening and more.

"There is also the Seed Library providing free seeds for people to grow their own."

Succession Wealth volunteered with the  Drying Green garden as part of their corporate volunteer day.

The polytunnel was funded by Invergrow, an Inverclyde Council project set up through the Levelling Up fund.

The Drying Green is funded by RIG Arts through the Scottish Government Investing In Communities fund.

Inverclyde Libraries also work closely to support the garden as well.
