That the Parliament celebrates the grand opening of Dunfermline’s Sanctuary Garden, which is a community greenspace dedicated to organic cultivation, mental well-being and sustainable living; recognises that, in less than nine months, a team of volunteers, led by Grant Stewart, has created a thriving community green space that offers something for everyone; understands that the garden donates its produce locally, provides free learning courses to demystify organic food production and offers drop-in volunteering opportunities; further understands that it has worked collaboratively with a range of partners, including Dunfermline Greenspace SCIO, Fife College, Fife Voluntary Action (FVA), Fife Climate Hub, Climate Action Fife, the British Hen Welfare Trust, Forth Pilgrim and Grow West Fife: applauds the project's shortlisting for the 2026 FVA Green/Environmental Award; appreciates the passion, hard work, dedication and community spirit of all those involved in developing the space, and extends its very best wishes for a successful summer season and beyond.
