Royal Edinburgh Hospital Community Gardens
Edinburgh
Cyrenians Community Garden ‘Growing Space’ is situated in the grounds of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and is open every day.
The focus is on welcoming people experiencing mental or physical health problems, disadvantage, isolation or poverty. The gardens offer people fantastic opportunities to grow food, socialise and improve general health and wellbeing supported by Cyrenians staff, the NHS team onsite and our local community volunteers.
The garden promotes biodiversity and is divided into sustainable, organic growing areas, for example, the Seaside garden, Butterfly bed and Potager. It is wrapped by a small therapeutic woodland and a short walk takes you to the oldest urban orchard in Scotland which is now managed by our conservation group.
Tours will be given 11:00-11:30 and 14:00-14:30
