On the way back from Luing I stopped off to see the new Community Garden on Seil
The community had built the garden after the old Drill Hall was replaced by a new community hall. They applied and got help from the BBC's Beechgrove Garden.
Lots of difference people were involved and the children from the local primary school at Easdale each chose and planted a tree with a slate tag with their name on it. Seil is inshore from the 'Slate Islands' and the ground is riddled with slate spoil on top of a slate foundation!
The garden has lots of interesting features including this insect habitat wall.http://forargyll.com/2009/07/bbc-beechgrove-gardens-features-seil-communitys-drill-hall-garden-tonight/
