ORGANISERS of the Dennistoun Big Dig are appealing for helpers ahead of a mass planting and shrubbery trim to protect the Firpark Terrace green area on the Dennistoun side of the Glasgow Necropolis.

Volunteers are wanted to help "dig in" 500 plants and tidy up ragged shrubbery along the walls of the Victorian cemetery following financial support from Dennistoun Community Council, Friends of Glasgow Necropolis and Dennistoun Conservation Society.

The graveyard's gardeners have agreed to assist but more helpers are wanted for tomorrow's 11am dig in.
