Co-creating the Community Garden of your Dreams: Enhancing the Rafford Village Hall's Outdoor Space

Welcome to the Rafford Growing Roots: partecipatory co-Design Workshop Village Hall Outdoor Space event!

Rural GPs Association of Scotland (RGPAS) is a small, voluntary organisation managed by and for Remote and Rural GPs in Scotland. RGPAS proudly achieved charity status in January 2024. Each year, their main focus is to hold an annual conference which serves to bring together our unique community to share and foster passion for rural medicine.

This event is part of Development Trusts Association Scotland Regional gatherings event series which aims to provide community organisations with bespoke advice and support to navigate authority-specific challenges. Attendees are also provided with the opportunity to network, build partnerships and collaborate with other local community organisations.

There is a growing wave of people across the country - and around the world - who are actively building more hopeful futures. Community gardens, mutual aid groups, cooperatives of all kinds, solidarity networks, creative collectives, repair cafés, tool libraries, nature restoration projects—these are just a few examples. We can cultivate a root system of alternatives - both big and small - and reclaim a sense of possibility.

Join Woodland Trust for Scotland for a guided walk around Balmacaan Wood to explore the medicinal powers of trees such as Western Red Cedar and Douglas Fir.

On your way, you will also meet the European "Goddess Tree", before emerging through ancient Oakwoods. With amazing views, giant trees, outstanding wildlife, and ancient ruins. What might you discover on your wander?

After a long five year wait, the Logie Timber Festival is making its grand return – and this time we’re going bigger and better!

Taking place on Monday 2 September at 7.00pm at the Pentland Hotel, the free event is open to anyone with an interest in the way land is owned and used across the community.

At this year's Agri Conference they’re going ‘Back to Basics’. Come along to widen your farming knowledge and hear from industry experts and stakeholders.
