Inspirational community garden event launched
Moray Community Garden Festival will take place across the 6 - 7 June.
Communities across Moray are getting ready to open their gates for a weekend of inspiration, connection and practical climate action as the Moray Community Garden Festival taking place over the 6–7 June.
Organised by One Seed Forward, this event shines a spotlight on the vital role that local community gardens play in rural life — from supporting biodiversity to bringing people together.
🌼 A Celebration of Community and Climate Action
This festival is more than just a chance to admire beautiful growing spaces. It’s a real, on-the-ground example of what climate action looks like in rural communities:
- Pollinator-friendly planting that supports bees, butterflies and other wildlife
- Local food growing that reduces food miles and increases food security
- Shared spaces that strengthen community ties and wellbeing
Across Moray, participating gardens are nurturing not just plants, but resilience — environmental, social and community-led.
🚶♀️ Step Inside Your Local Gardens
Each garden taking part will be opening its space for visitors to:
- Have a look around at what’s being grown
- Chat with local volunteers and growers
- Pick up ideas for your own garden or growing space
- Feel inspired to get involved in your community
Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just curious, there’s something for everyone.
🌻 Why It Matters
Community gardens are increasingly important in rural areas. They:
- Create welcoming places for people to gather
- Support local food systems
- Improve biodiversity
- Encourage learning and skills-sharing across generations
In short, they are helping rural communities adapt, connect and thrive.
