Y People's new community garden to be unveiled on BBC Scotland's Beechgrove Garden
Y People have been working hard over the past 2 ½ months since learning that they had been selected to be the first Community Garden Project this year for The Beechgrove Garden.
This is a fabulous project that has seen the residents of Branston Court design and take part at every stage during the renovation of their garden. The garden will allow the residents to grow their own vegetables, improve their wellbeing and increase their sense of independence, while also providing a space in which they can relax and socialise.
The support which they have received from wider community in making the project a success has been invaluable and also highlights just how important a role young people affected by homelessness and asylum seekers can have in today's society.
The Beechgrove Garden community garden show featuring Ypeople's Branston Court service will be broadcast on Monday 8th August at 7.30pm on BBC1 Scotland - don't miss it!!
