Our Activities.
Calum at the Art Class, learning to mix colours
Make it.
We have always held Art and Craft sessions covering a wide range of things such as actual Art classes, making Christmas decorations, houses, Fairy houses to delicate wooden pens. and cards, making wicker into items and garden supports, ceramics and photography. We have eat together days. Make music by learning guitar. Try Pyrography. The model guys make beautiful models. There’s always something to do.
John making the “Men’s Shed Govan” sign.
Build it.
There is a woodcraft room where you can learn from others or share your skills. It all begins with an idea. The world is your oyster. The guys have made all sorts in the past, from raised beds , planters, benches, potting tables, mud kitchens, and they have completely transformed our outdoor space by building lots of different outdoor work spaces and a mobility scooter park.
Frank harvesting Turnips and Beetroot
Grow it.
There are wooden raised beds and a polytunnel for growing vegetables and herbs, and a lovely outdoor garden with flower beds and planters. There’s a grassy area to have a pleasant sit outdoors on a sunny day and a covered outdoor shelter for rainy days. We also have an allotment at Vicarfield Allotments, Govan, for extra growing space. We donate a lot of our produce to “Dig In” Community Greengrocers/ food poverty projects and the South West Food Bank.
