Visit to Braehead Community Gardens

The Stirling Food Partnership was launched in May 2022 in which we hosted a series of site visits to compliment the relaunch. We’re excited to continue these events with more inspiring visits to important food places in Stirling’s food system.

We hope these short tours offer insight and opportunities for further connections and championing support for these food initiatives. Keep an eye out for more events over the next few months.

Braehead Community Garden is the Big Lottery funded project situated on the green space between Broom Road and the railway. It is a great place to spend time watching the different aspects of the growing season in the company of your friends and neighbours. You can also grow your own tasty, fresh, locally produced fruit and vegetables in your own raised bed.
