With support from The Mears Foundation, residents at Ochil House were able to install a new greenhouse, creating a shared space that encourages wellbeing, social connection, and outdoor activity. The grant funded the purchase of the greenhouse, while Mears staff and subcontractors contributed 54 hours of volunteer time to prepare the area, clearing weeds, power washing surfaces, and assembling the structure. Materials were also kindly donated by Huws Gray and Greenerleaf. This collaborative effort has transformed an underused space into a focal point for residents, offering a sense of ownership and the joy of growing their own plants. The project has strengthened community spirit within the complex and will continue to bring lasting benefits for years to come.
