Summer garden open day

Saturday 6th June : 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

Ravenscraig Walled Garden

Visit us at the gardens at one of the most vibrant times of year to see what we are growing and learn about the great work that the staff and volunteers do in our community training garden. We are also excited to partner up with Growing Kirkcaldy again on a plant stall where you can take away various plants for a donation.
We will be on hand to show you our spaces where we grow fruit, veg and flowers and will be serving a light, seasonal lunch as part of The Big Lunch. You can also take away kimchi made in our Lang Spoon Community Kitchen and balms made in our community garden.
As well as tours around our garden and orchard there are other activities to get involved in all linked to nature and green spaces with something for all ages.
Look forward to
  • Garden games
  • Produce tasting
  • Take away some kimchi or balm for a donation
  • Light lunch & herbal teas
  • Scavenger hunt
  • Orchard tours
  • Games and energy advice with Cosy Kingdom
There is no booking required for this event, just drop by for a visit!

Walk to the event with us!

Leaving from the Kirkcaldy Heart on the Esplanade at 10:30am. No need to book, just meet us at the start point!

Join us for a sociable stroll linking Kirkcaldy Town Centre and Ravenscraig Walled Garden. We’ll head from the Heart on the Prom, past an intriguing sundial, Ravenscraig Castle and the coast and through the beautiful park and woods to our Walled Garden where there will be activities including tours and refreshments.

The 1.5-mile walk (one-way only) will take around 45 minutes, and be on fairly flat, paved surfaces with some sections of gravel footpath. There are some steps, which will be by-passed if participants prefer/require a step-free route. Contact us if you need any more information on the walk.

 

This event is part of Fife Climate Festival and we have recieved a small grant from Fife Communities Climate Action Network to support this event.

This event is also part of Lang Toun Fest, taking part across Kirkcaldy this June. www.langtounfest.com and the Eden Communities Big Lunch.

Accessibility

Please note that there is a road closure on Dysart Road so if you are travelling by car you may have to follow a short, local diversion to get to us. 

There are accessible parking spaces on site. Please note the terrain is mostly flat and the paths are gravel. The venue is outdoors with the exception of the working cabin.

Some work may be done in the orchard area of our gardens which is not recommended for wheelchairs due to steep access and narrow and uneven pathways, let us know if you would have issues getting the the orchard area as we can adapt the session to take place in a more accessible area.

If you have any other accessibility questions please phone 01592 858458 or email info@greenerkirkcaldy.org.uk.
