Knowetop became a charity in October 2023 and is a horticulture and conservation project on 15.5 acres in Castlehill, Dumbarton, part of which used to be a community farm. Our work involves growing a variety of fruit and vegetables, and managing the site so it's a good place for people and a good place for nature.
Our volunteer sessions are open to anyone and take place on Tuesday afternoons 1pm to 4pm and Thursday mornings 10am to 1pm. We run adult nature-based wellbeing sessions on Mondays & Thursdays from 11am to 3pm. Subject to funding, we also work with the local primary schools, run an afterschool group on Wednesdays and offer children's or youth activities during the school holidays. Our Board of Trustees meets quarterly and is looking for new members.
