Getting things done – Peddie Street #dundeewestend

Many thanks to the residents who recently contacted us about a dog waste bin had fallen over in Peddie Street – its the post had rusted at the base.


We reported this to environment management who promised to promptly uplift this. We also requested that a replacement bin is provided to ensure adequate dog waste bin facilities in Peddie Street.


Botanic Garden plant sale tomorrow! #dundeewestend

The Friends of the University of Dundee Botanic Garden are holding its final plant sale of the year tomorrow – Sunday 16th October – from 11am-2pm, in the Botanic Garden car park as usual.


This sale will include some bare rooted plants, and others that the Friends have been dividing up ready for winter, as well as some potted garden plants that they have been growing on over the summer.

All welcome!


Scotland’s Garden Scheme – this weekend! #dundeewestend

This forthcoming weekend again sees Frances and John Dent in Glamis Drive open their lovely garden to residents as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme.

Not only is a visit to the garden a pleasure – it also helps raise funds for charity.   This time, John and Frances are again supporting Dr Graham’s Homes in Kalimpong, West Bengal.
The homes were founded more than 100 years ago as an orphanage for Anglo-Indian children. Since then it has developed to be a successful boarding school for children from Nursery to Senior ages, with an additional hostel in Kolkata for school leavers progressing to higher education.
The pupils now come from a range of socially deprived families rather than as orphans. Approximately half of the boarding pupils are partially or fully sponsored by an international group of supporters especially from the UK.   As Dr Graham was a Moderator of the General Assembly in the 1940s, the Church of Scotland has a long-standing interest in the homes.
So, please visit this weekend – a lovely garden to see and a very worthwhile charity being supported.
