The vegetarium

The vegetarium is the growing space created by Campy Growers to produce a maximum of food with organic and ethical principles.

Before and after pictures showing the mesh stitched, the construction of raised beds, the amendment of wood chip and compost, the use of fishing net for climbers and the food growing. Work all done by volunteers.

This project was born from the feasibility study conducted in 2019, funded by Dundee City Council, Dundee Social Enterprise Network (DSEN) and the Maxwell Centre.
