Pennie Latin visits the 'soul garden' at Dudhope Multicultural Centre in Dundee.

Pennie Latin visits the 'soul garden' at Dudhope Multicultural Centre in Dundee, where residents have turned a car park into a vibrant kitchen garden.

This week the kitchen garden team visit Dundee's 'soul garden' at the Dudhope Multicultural centre. Pennie Latin and gardening expert Nicola Singleton, take a walk around this wonderful, urban, car park, garden. They witness the first harvest of potatoes and come across some non-native vegetables such as kabachi and pak choi growing side-by-side with the more familiar; peas, beans and marrows. This reflects the whole ethos of Dudhope, a space where the diverse community can come together and grow. For this centre provides a place to exercise, socialise and to eat together.
Speaking of eating, this week chicken and vegetable curry is on the menu in Dudhope's community café. Nicola Singleton takes her turn in the kitchen making fresh mint chutney, under the watchful eye of centre cook Schweta, whilst Dan Holland comes across an unusual food vending machine in the Overgate shopping centre, Dundee.
