How To Find Us
Rattray Community Garden
You will find us at Balmoral Road. Take first left and follow the driveway round and the garden is on your right. See link to Google Maps
We open every week on Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 1pm.
There are always some members around on these days and you are very welcome to visit, look around and have a cup of tea and chat.
Volunteers need not commit to any specific schedule, just turn up when you feel like some garden time. Do as little or as much as you wish. There is something to suit everyone.
Rattray Community Garden is based in what used to be a walled garden for Mount Ericht House in the heart of the historic town of Blairgowrie and Rattray and is funded by BRDT.
Rattray Community Garden aims to be a welcoming, relaxing area where local residents, groups and visitors to the town can garden, supporting their health and wellbeing and reducing social isolation, develop gardening skills, and observe wildlife. It is also the home of the award winning Blair in Bloom Group.
Blairgowrie and Rattray Development Trust (BRDT) is the owner of the land and supports the garden for the benefit of the community and all who come to enjoy it - whether that is through gardening, volunteering, events, art or or just to relax. A number of other community groups and organisations are becoming regular users of the space.
Open to people of all ages, Rattray Community Garden aims to highlight the benefits of intergenerational activities and will host educational sessions. The garden will also help contribute to reducing food poverty and increasing the access to healthy food locally.
