But those days are long gone, and the site had become abandoned and derelict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early in 2016 a small group of volunteers from Friends of Maryhill Park, with support from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgow.gov.uk\/stalledspaces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Glasgow City Council Stalled Spaces initiative<\/a>, set about cleaning up and refurbishing the site as a community growing space. The first phase of the project was completed later that year, with an official opening at the annual summer fair on Sunday 19 June 2016. <a aria-label=\"Watch the video (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GlasgowWestEndToday\/videos\/1022692961159378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch the video<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-facebook wp-block-embed-facebook\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GlasgowWestEndToday\/videos\/1022692961159378\/?t=31\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GlasgowWestEndToday\/videos\/1022692961159378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Community Garden official opening, 19 June 2016 (opens in a new tab)\">Community Garden official opening, 19 June 2016<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GlasgowWestEndToday\/videos\/1022692961159378\/?t=31\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GlasgowWestEndToday\/videos\/1022692961159378\/?t=31<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wherever possible we have used locally-resourced\/recycled materials to construct various features. Raised beds are made from used scaffold boards. Gazebos and growing frames are purpose built from scaffold poles and rebar mesh. Our &#8220;garden shed&#8221; is a secure, heavy-duty steel shipping container, and the water tower is made from used 45 gallon drums (originally used for importing orange juice). The recently-added rockery area uses old sandstone blocks from a local chimney that had to be demolished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure
