About
RIG Arts transformed a space behind South West Library in Greenock. From an unused scrub site, The Drying Green became a shared space for nurturing plants and stories. Named after the communal laundry areas shared by tenement buildings throughout Scotland – the places where communities grew close through games, leisure and shared childcare. Instead of clothes pegs and washing lines, we watched tendrils and vines unfurl next to new public sculptures, and created a community mosaic. This is a plot where people grow their own produce and swap ideas, a story-growing garden that hosts special events and community activities open to everyone.
