Growing room: community plots at the Botanics

garden

Are you a community group? Would you like to learn how to grow your own food?

Where?

The Edible Gardening Project at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

When?

We have spaces for two groups (of about 8 people each), one a Saturday from 10.30 – 12 and one on a Monday from 3 – 4.30 every week from April – October.

What?

This would involve coming to the garden accompanied by one (or more) leaders from your group. You will work alongside Andy, one of our community gardeners, on a vegetable plot and learn the basics of growing vegetables including planning, planting, tending and harvesting.

The programme is free and we can supply tools and seeds, all you’ll need to do is come along with your group and group leader each week.

If you don’t want to commit to a whole season of growing but are interested in learning new skills then please do get in touch to arrange a single visit instead.

For more details please get in touch with Jenny Foulkes at jfoulkes@rbge.org.uk or telephone 0131 248 2983
