The housebuilder has also donated £500 to the project and has become a sponsor of Inverflora, which is the local volunteer group who plant up the tubs, hanging baskets and planters in the town during the summer.

Working together with Community Garden volunteers, four Taylor Wimpey employees made some substantial improvements to the large allotment of ground that overlooks the Firth of Forth.

The team helped install some raised beds and three sheds were also given a new lease of life with protective coats of paint to keep them in good shape over the winter, helping to improve the experience for those who want to access the garden and all that it offers. A commitment was also made to return and help rebuild an unstable stone wall.

Taylor Wimpey’s support of the Inverkeithing Community Garden and Inverflora marks a key milestone for the company following the launch of its new homes for sale at its local development at Spencer Fields, off Hillend Road, where show homes will be launched to view early next year.

Commenting on the support it has received from Taylor Wimpey, Ewan McCormick, who heads up the Inverkeithing Community Garden project and is a volunteer with Inverflora, said: “We are extremely grateful for the support that we have received from Taylor Wimpey, and we can’t thank them enough for their hard work in our community garden.

“The garden is now established, and this year we have provided some soft fruits and a range of vegetables for the local community to simply pick and enjoy. As winter is now upon us, we still have lots of work to do in the garden to get it ready for next spring, and we’re very grateful for all of the hard work from the Taylor Wimpey team. We’ll also put their funds which were donated to Inverflora to good use in the spring next year when we plan to create a colourful daffodil display to coincide with our Fife-wide schools’ daffodil competition in March.”

Andrew Roberts, senior strategic land and planning manager, added: “We are absolutely delighted to be delivering new homes in Inverkeithing, and we are equally proud to be able to support the Inverkeithing Community Garden with a some hands-on help from members of our team who are keen to play their part in the local community too. We’re equally happy to have the opportunity to be part of the Inverflora project and we’re looking forward to seeing our sponsored display in the spring next year.

“We do more than just build high-quality homes. Being able to work with local businesses and organisations that surround our developments means a great deal to us, and it’s great to know that we are helping to make a difference to the lives of people in local communities.”

Taylor Wimpey’s assistance to Inverkeithing Community Garden is one of the many contributions being made by the housebuilder towards community facilities and infrastructure in the wider area.
