DOT TO DOT MARYHILL STATION LOCATION
DOT TO DOT© Community Garden (Maryhill Station) Maryhill is an area with profound historical heritage in risk. The Forth and Clyde Canal flows through Maryhill North Kelvinside, forming a vital part of the local economy. It was for many years polluted and largely unused after the decline of heavy industry but recent efforts to regenerate the waterway to navigation and recreation have gradually seen it rejuvenated. Being part of the DOT TO DOT© recovery landscape plan, this pilot project aims to reanimate a site gap with a vibrant open garden, which creates people awareness about architectural and landscape heritage along the Canal in collaboration with a primary school. This project consists of: a. DOT TO DOT© Station; b. Maryhill Community Square; and c. Portable Community Garden. A. The DOT TO DOT Station is defined by 4 modular containers (two 20ft shipping containers in initial phase) to accommodate service and servant spaces, including workshop, café, tool storage and open clinic (civic office). It invites community to work, play and build together. The initiative specifically connects ecoschools, social enterprises, young designers, wards, community gardens, municipality and stakeholders locally to think, design and build inspiring eco-projects that can be replicated in derelict lands along the neighbourhood both creative and artistically. B. Maryhill Community Square. This is an open common space to celebrate community and consortium

joint events like open cinema, outdoor art exhibition, fairs and flee market. It is a grand terrace made with euro-pallet boards. C. The Wild Green Bags. This project is a portable community garden that grows native flora in bulk bags. It focuses only on growing edible, medicinal and aromatic wild plants within a selection of shrubs, small fruits and herbs[1]. Most of these plants can grow in poor soil. The greenery zone is a controlled
environment. To avoid any potential toxicity from contaminated ground, the bulk bags are detached, elevated from ground and filled in with high-quality soil, which allows growing, picking and eating any native plants without getting toxic agents. This didactic experiment will demonstrate how certain plants prefer rich soils whilst others thrive off poor soil. The use of tea bag-based compost or fertilizer could help specific plants to grow such as nut and fruit shrubs.
