The organisation's purposes are:
To advance biosphere protection and/or improvement by encouraging and supporting the people of Leith:
(i) to grow vegetables and fruit for food in urban spaces, so reducing their food miles and carbon footprint;
(ii) to grow flowers for bees and other pollinating insects, thus improving both local aesthetics and biodiversity.
To provide and organise recreational activities with the object of improving the wellbeing of the people of Leith through:
(i) encouraging, educating and supporting them to eat their own locally grown fruit and vegetables, improving diet and dietary awareness;
(ii) providing opportunities for recreational activities, such as connecting with nature/nature play for children;
(iii) providing opportunities for people to meet each other and exchange knowledge and goods (plants, food, recipes and plant-growing know-how), using Non-Violent Communication (NVC) skills where appropriate, so improving community cohesion, and mental/emotional wellbeing.
To advance the education of both children and adults living in Leith with regard to the value of natural systems and on sustainable lifestyles, so that present generations do not threaten the quality of life for future generations.
To advance education and biosphere protection by supporting schools and nurseries in achieving their environmental goals.
