I
was delighted to learn that Broughty Ferry has once again been recognised by Beautiful
Scotland for its community environmental initiatives at the annual ‘It’s Your
Neighbourhood’ seminar and presentation of certificates on Wednesday.
It’s
Your Neighbourhood is a non-competitive campaign with more of an emphasis on
community participation and is based on themes that include environmental
responsibility as well as gardening achievement. Certificates are awarded to
every group, with five levels of achievement, to encourage and reward
progression. Friends of Barnhill Rock Garden and Queen Street Community Garden
were awarded the top certificate, which is the outstanding level and also a
certificate of distinction, which is presented to groups that have consistently
grown and improved over the years.
It’s
great to see local community projects being recognised in this way. Well done
to everyone for the good work you do.
