Urban Roots

HEALTHIER, GREENER COMMUNITIES

WHO WE ARE

Urban Roots is a community led environmental charity. 

 

We grew from small beginnings in 2004, when three local residents set up ‘Toryglen Gardening Club’ to improve their neighbourhood and address environmental concerns. 

​

Our team has since expanded to develop further food growing spaces and to run a wide range of activities in communities across the Southside of Glasgow.

WHAT WE DO

We deliver a range of activities, including food growing, conservation and biodiversity work, and promoting healthier eating. We work with local people to improve the environment and health of communities.

​

We work with all ages and abilities in schools, community spaces, gardens and woodlands across the Southside of Glasgow - making time to connect with people, build relationships and celebrate the seasons.

People are inspired to connect with nature and take practical action that makes a positive difference to their own lives, their communities and the planet.
