Greening Brownfield is born - 12th December 2009
Following a series of successful public meetings, plant swapping, cake sharing and generally good vibed get togethers Greening Carradale evolved into Greening Brownfield off the back of a meeting 12.12.2009.
Anna & Anna set up the meeting to create a new more active group of local people so more energy could be created to get the different garden and play area plans off the ground and becoming a reality.
