Dundee Community Grower’s Network

Short documentary film.

Storytelling by Jek Mcallister and Sian Meikle in collaboration with Dundee Community Food Growing Network. 

 

This film tells the story of the Dundee Community Food Growing Network as experienced by members of 3 gardens that participate in the Network. In total over 25 gardens are represented in the Network that works collaboratively to share resources and ideas, influence policy and make growing spaces in Dundee more visible and accessible. 

Every garden has its own story of how it came to be, and this film captures individual tales from those involved in keeping these spaces thriving. 

The film describes what has helped and hindered their actions and those of the network, as it strives to bring together an eco-system of community growers, in an open, democratic and inclusive environment.
