Fintray Gardening Club
We are a group of volunteers who decided in June 2018 that it was time to improve the horticulture of Hatton of Fintray and have some fun doing it. Our aim is to enhance and maintain the horticulture in the public spaces in the village, and provide advice to the community on gardening in our area. We are affiliated to the Fintray Community Association.
We’d love you to get involved so please keep checking the Gardening Club page on the Fintray Community website and Fintray Fowk for our gardening days, talks and trips. Everyone is welcome!

Environmental and Climate Change Commitment
Fintray Gardening Club recognises the impact of the loss of biodiversity and climate change on our environment. At all levels, from government to individuals we can help lessen the impact and protect our environment for future generations. In this regard the Gardening Club commits to reducing climate change emissions, protecting the natural environment, planting to support wildlife and minimising waste.
