Abundant Borders works within our community to create a network of community food gardens across the Scottish Borders. The community food gardens act as a training base for people to learn how to grow their own food in a sustainable way and then how to turn that food into healthy, inexpensive meals. Our aim is that everyone, regardless of personal circumstances, should have access to healthy, nutritious food.Our Values• Growing Communities Together:Abundant Borders is committed to working with trainees, volunteers, partners and communities so that together we can work to alleviate food insecurity in the Scottish Borders.• Learning and Development:Abundant Borders affirms that we are all learners and is committed to the development of skills, knowledge and self-confidence.• Opportunities for All:Abundant Borders recognises that there is inequality in access to food and the land on which to grow food and is fully committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of background, has access to healthy, nutritious food.• Earth Care:Abundant Borders is committed to care for the environment in line with the principles of permaculture.• Valuing All:Abundant Borders asserts that we will work to bring people together from diverse backgrounds and provide a courteous and non- discriminatory service by working to ensure that trustees, management team, trainees and volunteers treat each other, and are treated, with respect.
