Libby Walker painted Glasgow from the @uofglasgow.bsky.social flagpole yesterday!
What happens if every photo is a brushstroke, and together we paint Glasgow’s storybook? 📖🌍 That’s communiMap! We’re raffling Libby’s painting.
Add a “spot” between 9–22 Sept to be in with a chance of winning :-)

Saturday at Bellahouston allotments was magic! We set up a #communiMap stall and swapped stories, compost tips, and even pink beetroot water (fermenting).
The climate news is heavy (another hottest year, dry soils here too), but seeing folk build ponds, save seeds + caring for land gave me hope!

On June 5, our own Chris joined an invisible cities walking tour from the Pearce Institute to the Glasgow Science Centre 🌿
He shared his GALLANT journey and explored the Wee Forest 🌱 - a great example of how urban nature can boost biodiversity and community wellbeing.

We had a brilliant Compost Co-Lab meetup at the Hidden Gardens last Friday 🌿
Jenny shared a peek at her compost zine, and we now have a ready-to-use compost pile for the raised beds 🙌 Next up: we'll be conducting science tests to see how it compares to shop-bought soil!

The Compost Co-Lab Zine Making is underway! 🎨 🗞️ 🌱
Today we teamed up with GZL to explore creative ways to document and share our compost stories. From painting with inks made from compost, to collage and photocopying, we learned, created, and had a blast doing it!
