Bothwell Community Garden was set up by the Organic Growers of Bothwell and opened to members in May 2010. We are a diverse group of families, individuals and community groups who are passionate about organic gardening, vermiculture, biodiversity and reducing our carbon footprint whilst improving our health and quality of life.

With more than 50 raised beds (including beds adapted for use by young children and those with limited mobility), two polytunnels, an orchard, soft-fruit area and several areas dedicated to wildlife; the garden is a place for members to grow their own produce and come together to socialise and share skills and interests.

The garden has proved to be extremely successful and popular with the local community, and there is currently a long waiting list for raised beds.

We are always looking for volunteers to help keep our garden looking pristine. Supervised sessions are on Wednesdays and Sundays from 2pm until 3pm followed by tea/coffee/juice, biscuits and a good blether. If you would like to join our volunteer session either contact us or come to the garden and rattle the gate. You can be assured of a warm welcome.

For further information on the garden, including how to apply for a raised bed, how to become a 'Friend Of The Garden', volunteering opportunities and press enquiries; please contact us by email at:

On the 26 th October 2015 the Hope Hub became a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, charity number SC046076. Hope Hub`s aim is to support the local communities of Kirkmuirhill, Blackwood and nearby Clydesdale villages by having a multi-use community hub facility with rooms, café and a seated multi-purpose auditorium, including use as a worship space by the local Free Church of Scotland Hope Church congregation.

Under the direction of a Board of 7 Trustees, the Hope Hub will develop plans and designs for a much needed community facility.

The Hope Hub sees the Community Facility Church project as an innovative, exciting vision to reach out and deliver sustainable community services and activities which will have an enduring impact on the quality of life, benefit and support for the rural communities of the Clydesdale district.

On completion of a Community Consultation process, the project will focus on those services and activities which embrace the identified needs and wishes of the communities, complements those already established groups and services and accommodates the mix of traditional and contemporary worship of the local Free Church congregation.

The project is viewed as a gift and support to the communities, providing a platform of opportunity encompassing all age groups, promoting integration, addressing inequalities and poverty issues, improving quality of life for children, youth and elderly, citizenship and community wellbeing, delivered in a caring and compassionate fashion.

Your Hope Hub is here to welcome YOU.

"...The first folk-bootanico-encyclopedic band on the planet!! Finally, grow plants, have children and make them listen to The BarrowBand."

"The BarrowBand: Playing and singing the finest selection of fruit and vegetable songs ever written."

People of all ages love the BarrowBand!

Working all over the UK (and sometimes beyond!) but based in ScotlandThe BarrowBand are a real band of multi instrumentalist/singing costermongers who are accompanied by an amazing, kinetic, magical fruit and veg barrow.

The goal of the BarrowBand is to get the country eating more vegetables and fruit whilst having the most fun they have ever had!

"Changing the way people eat."

Working in the hinterland between food origins and healthy eating they bring the history, magic, beauty, and health of vegetables and fruit to the world with their unique brand of intergenerational performance and 'astounding' repertoire of fruit and veg songs.

The BarrowBand play songs that can be enjoyed by all ages, anywhere. Exceptional musicianship combined with the unique songwriting talent of ex-Incredible String Band member Malcolm Le Maistre creates a performance that is unsparingly musical, energetic,surprising, participatory and educational.

They sing, dance and juggle their way through a large selection of original songs using styles drawn from pop, folk, country, Indian, klezmer, thrash jazz, rock etc. - whilst manipulating a kinetic market Barrow covered with various fruit, vegetables and beasts. They also conduct interactive creative workshops.

The BarrowBand is about celebrating nature and its products in a funny and entertaining way through music, art and performance. As well as bringing the magic of fruit, vegetables, animals and minerals to the world, we will also influence people's health in a positive way.

"At last a band that plays childrens music that adults love as well."

The BarrowBand came about after Malcolm saw a famous cook trying to get children to identify various fruit and veg without much success (leeks were kiwis apparently). He immediately started writing songs about them and not long after, in partnership with an Edinburgh media company Rocket Learning, created the BarrowBand - an educational multimedia project for teachers and health professionals about healthy eating and especially fruit and veg.

In 2010, Colin and Malcolm did the first BarrowBand live gig in Durham. It quickly became apparent that the future of the BarrowBand was live and in early 2011 the band was formed.

Since then we have performed throughout the land at many diverse venues such as: as Kew Gardens, Cambridge University, Harrogate and Edinburgh Botanics, the JustSo Festival, Kelburn, Eden and Belladrum Festivals, the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival, Dunoon Harbour (in sub-zero temperatures), the annual conference of botanical experts in Dundee (an entire audience of adults going wild for the Onion song) and many others.

They have also toured rural schools and communities around Scotland playing in community gardens, and at food and health events.

In 2016 the band will embark on a critical part of its journey to bring the magic of fruit, vegetables, animals and minerals to the world. Two new albums, many performances, fruit and veg dance films and much more!

Malcolm Le Maistre is the lead singer and songwriter and used to be in The Incredible String Band (you can ask your grandparents who they were). He interacts a great deal with the audience, handing out fruit and vegetable prizes for questions answered correctly, and leads the mushroom dancing.

Colin is a graduate of RSAMD, plays ukulele, percussion, sings, juggles and as The Barrowman encourages various fruit and vegetables to join in with the songs. He is also a part time clown doctor.

A native of Dunbar, Gracie comes from a musical family. She plays double bass, cello and sings in a choir.

Kevin plays mandolin, guitar, keyboards and is digital technology talent. When in the mood he performs a 'whirling dervish' dance.

In our morning service, there will be around 45 minutes of worship with the whole Church family when there will be singing, prayer, and a children's message. At this point, the children will leave for their own Sunday Club. The Bible will then be read and one of our pastors or leaders will preach from God's word. The service usually finishes around 12noon.

When we gather in the evening at 7pm, we usually spend about 20 minutes singing and praying before the Bible is read and preached. Our evening service usually finishes around 8pm.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after all of our services where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at our Church. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

We have a very gifted team of Sunday Club teachers who lead a great curriculum for all ages. We have the following Sunday Club classes:
