Community groups visit restored Palm Houses

C3R and ELREC enjoy Botanics visit

We feel so honored to have been first community group to be lucky enough to visit the beautifully restored Palm Houses since their closure in 2021 🌴

This was the perfect opportunity to gain insight into the history of the building, the restoration process, and some amazing garden stories related to this space!

Huge thank you to the Palm Houses Engagement team at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh for the invitation and creating such an informative and interactive tour!

We can’t wait to welcome the full opening of the Palm Houses and return again! 🌺
