Default where to advertise to attract garden-friendly people to Edinburgh tenement block?

Dear UK gardeners,

Can you please give advice on where to advertise to attract
garden-friendly people to move to a Edinburgh tenement block?

We would like to try to encourage people who like to garden to let or
purchase flats in our tenement block in the Gorgie district of
Edinburgh. We want to increase the proportion of residents who like
to help maintain and use our shared garden.

I'm wondering where the best online forums or offline locations would
be the best for trying to contact the people who might be interested.
I've appended below an advertisement that I can imagine sending
around. Can any of you give any advice on this?

Thanks for your time in considering my question.

With my best regards,

Joe Wells

Garden-friendly Flat Purchasers and Tenants Sought for Edinburgh Tenement Block

Do you want to live near Edinburgh city center and garden at home
right away rather than waiting for an allotment and gardening at some
distance from home? Would you like to share your gardening with a
group of friendly people?

The gardeners of the Wheatfield Backgreen in the Gorgie district of
Edinburgh would like to encourage people who like to garden to let or
purchase flats in our tenement block. We want to increase the
proportion of residents who like to help maintain and use our shared
garden. If you like to garden and you are thinking of moving to or
within Edinburgh, then please consider joining us!

All block residents have access to a shared garden with these features:

* We currently have space available for additional vegetable-growing
allotments.

* We have a number of beds with flowers and other interesting plants
that we are maintaining and we would like to develop more.

* We have a large grass lawn which we keep mowed which is good for
garden parties and similar activities.

* We have a large locked shed for shared gardening equipment.

* We have composting facilities, including a “Rocket” composting
machine which produces compost in only 2 weeks.

* We have built a brick stand on which we light barbecue fires.

Flats are available both for sale and to let; see our web site for a
list. Even if none of the currently available flats suits your fancy,
flats regularly come on the market.

For more information, see our web site at this URL:

http://wheatfield-backgreen.wikispot.org/

We would be grateful for suggestions on good places for contacting
gardeners who might be interested in moving to our block.

With our best regards,

the Wheatfield Backgreen gardeners
