Festival 2026

In Memory We Grow

Organised by Urban Roots

4 November 2026

Toryglen Community Base, Glasgow

This activity is for the Urban Roots community.

The event will take place in a local community garden where we run weekly gardening sessions throughout the year. This is a warm, inclusive and welcoming space where many people, particularly women, come together to plant, share stories, support one another, and find a sense of calm and connection in their day-to-day lives.

The event will offer participants a gentle and meaningful way to remember a loved one by planting a flower in their memory. They will then be able to care for it during our weekly sessions, allowing the tribute to grow over time within a supportive community setting. This shared activity will provide space for reflection, remembrance and connection, while also helping to strengthen relationships between participants and the wider gardening community.

This activity is supported by a To Absent Friends small grant.
