Can You Help Create Our New Garden?

Our friends and supporters at JCI Glasgow are working with us to help improve our 'Garden Space' at the front of our Glasgow office on Annfield Place, Dennistoun.

When the sunshine decides to come out, we use the garden space for games and BBQ's for the With Kids families but it is a little tired looking and with a small amount of work could potentially be used a lot more.

Below we've posted some photos of our garden to give you an idea of how it currently looks.

We've been discussing sketch proposals with the team at JCI Glasgow and a final design is close to being agreed with the current scope as follows:

• Clean up the existing grass and trees Repair and re-paint the existing metal railings and gates
• Install a new dropped kerb at the Garden entrance
• Plant low level, low-maintenance bushes around the perimeter to give an element of privacy and act as a natural protective barrier around the existing metal railing supports
• Install a hard standing area with timber planters and benches
• Construct a ‘Living den’ for the children
• Create an area next to the gable wall for growing flowers, fruit plants etc.

Existing & Proposed Plans June 2013

The next step in the proposed plan is to make the vision a reality and if time allows, we are looking to have the garden ready by the end of summer/early autumn 2013.

However for this to happen we need your help and we are looking to recruit a project team as soon as possible.

If you would like to get involved or know someone who may be able to help out with either the on going design process or the actual construction/landscaping work then please get in contact with either Tom (tomwiddows@jciglasgow.com) or Lauren (lauren_murray@jciglasgow.com).

Or you can get in touch with us on Facebook and Twitter.
