02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Friends of Garnethill Green Spaces (FROGGS) was set up in response to local concerns about the lack of green spaces in our city centre gem of a place, Garnethill. Of those few green spaces that existed, many seemed unloved. We have some of the city’s finest buildings, but we want Garnethill to become just as well known for beautiful gardens, nurtured wildlife, unique and cared for green sites, vibrant community interaction with the green environment and development of skills. At the same time we want to embrace current social issues in relation to health, well-being, sustainability and environment. The objectives of FROGGS are to improve and maintain green areas of Garnethill for the well-being of a’ Jock Tamson’s bairns:
