HOPE Organic Garden & Shop We are a charity helping adults with learning disabilities to garden organically. We also have a shop where we sell the organic vegetables and fruit.

HOPE is an organic gardening charitable trust on the east coast of Scotland. Our objectives are to:

Offer horticultural training and work experience for adults living in Angus with learning disabilities
Provide opportunities for social, educational and recreational activities for our trainees
Supply the local community with organically grown fruit and vegetables
HOPE was set up in 1994 by Cedric de Voil, a local GP, who saw the benefits of gardening for people with disabilities. HOPE continues to welcome trainees every year offering individuals support and mentoring. All our trainees live in the local Angus area. Working in our garden has many mental and physical benefits and improves the skills of our trainees:

Building self-confidence
Encouraging creativity
Improving motor skills
Helping to reduce stress levels
Developing better co-ordination
Increasing fitness and ability
Being part of HOPE brings many social benefits to trainees and their families.

Hi everyone, we've got a few wee Christmas updates for any customers, volunteers and friends of ours in the community!

In a couple of weeks time we'll be starting production on this year's holly wreaths and as we're a small team we'd seriously appreciate any donations of variegated holly, conifer, berries or other useful foliage.

We're also accepting donations for our yearly Christmas raffle, tickets will be available in the garden shop from the start of December and all proceeds will go towards bettering the garden for our trainees and volunteers and we're incredibly grateful for your support!

We've still got plenty of fresh vegetables for sale in the shop, including leeks, carrots, sprouts and the last of this year's potatoes.

Please be careful if walking the paths around Hope over the next few days, the trees are getting shaken in the winds so there is a danger of falling branches and debris. The fences around the garden are taking a battering too so it looks like we will have some repairs on the jobs list next week!

Feels very Autumnal today, perfect weather for soup!
This week at HOPE we have some wonderful Leeks, Potatoes, Carrots, Cabbage, Turnip, and Pumpkin all perfect for the soup pot (or if that sounds like a too much work try chopping roughly into cubes and roasting them in the oven with a little oil, garlic and salt)!
There is still time to grab a last taste of summer with our delicious tomatoes too.
Shop open 10-3.30 Tue-Sat
