Bonnymuir Green Community Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bonnymuir Green Community Trust is a community-owned green space in Aberdeen, Scotland, running a sustainable community garden and café.
Bonnymuir Green Community Trust was established to develop a derelict bowling green in Aberdeen. The Green was originally the walled garden of one of the oldest houses in Midstocket, given to the community in 1924 to start a bowling club, which closed in 2015.[1]
The urban community buyout was completed in September 2018,[2] being the first organisation in the north-east of Scotland to buy private land under community buy-out legislation, introduced by the Scottish Government in 2015.[3] The £120,000 purchase was funded through a Scottish Land Fund grant, monies raised through community support and a charity partnership with local branch of Sainsbury's.
