And finally… in bloom

And finally… in bloom

A new community-led green area is set to bring biodiversity to a Glasgow neighbourhood, with the support of school children and the Wheatley Foundation.

School pupils from Mosspark Primary have helped create a wildflower meadow next to Corkerhill Train Station in Glasgow’s south side. 

The children were working together with the Wheatley Foundation, Glasgow City Council and Mosspark Community Council to transform the meadow.



 The initiative saw many young people participate in hands-on activities, such as preparing and planting seed balls to support wildlife. 

 The project forms part of Wheatley’s wider activities with partners to enhance neighbourhoods and create more areas for residents and communities. 

Lynne Mitchell, director of Wheatley Foundation, part of Wheatley, said: “We’re proud to work with partners to support projects like this, which bring people together and make a real difference to neighbourhoods. 

“It’s fantastic to see young people playing such an active role in improving their community, and we’re looking forward to seeing the meadow bloom over the coming months.” 



Glasgow City Council’s Low Emisson Zone (LEZ) fund funded the project, alongside support from the Wheatley Foundation. 

Pauline Sweeney, from Mosspark Community Council, added: “It’s incredible what we can all achieve when we work together in the community. The transformation of the area will make a real difference.”
