The gardening group was established to support women in creating a meaningful memorial space that honours the lives of those lost to violence, and to drug and alcohol use. The garden provides a peaceful place for reflection, healing, and remembrance, while also serving as a shared community project. Through working together to design, plant, and maintain the space, participants build connection, confidence, and a sense of purpose. The project encourages teamwork and offers opportunities to learn practical gardening skills, supporting both personal growth and collective wellbeing. This living memorial continues to grow alongside the women who care for it.

“With support from Robertson, we have transformed our garden into a welcoming, tranquil space for reflection and support. As the first area visitors see at Dundee Women’s Hub, it was important that it felt calm and accessible. The changes were shaped by feedback from women accessing our services, and we look forward to using the space for 1:1 and group support.” JL, Dundee Women’s Hub Co-Ordinator

Contractor Evidence of Completion

Robertson Construction Tayside recently completed a project at the Women’s Hub in Dundee, with the creation of a quiet memorial garden. This project was identified through Dundee City Council Wishes initiative, with a request to create a place of reflection, healing and remembrance, recognising those who have lived experiences of gender-based harm, and challenges related to drugs and alcohol. The new space will allow users the opportunity to design, plant, and maintain the space together, building connection, confidence, and purpose while promoting teamwork and teaching practical gardening skills, supporting both personal growth and collective wellbeing. Our As One partner Kilmac Ltd went over and above, contributing their time, care, and expertise to help bring this community project to life.
