Walled Garden to welcome back volunteers

Volunteering at the garden

We are pleased to let you know that from Monday (22nd June) we will hold volunteer gardening sessions from 2-4pm every day except Thursday.

We will continue to work at a safe distance of 2 metres and request that you bring your own gloves and hand sanitisers/wipes.

Please avoid attending the garden if you feel unwell, if you have been in contact with another person who is unwell, or if you have an underlying health condition that would make you vulnerable to infection.

We look forward to seeing you. There is a great deal to do!

Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden public meeting

The Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden became a charity in December 2018 (SCIO no SC048884).

We will therefore give a report on the finances and activities of the organisation up to the end of its time as an unincorporated community group.

This will be a public meeting and you are welcome to come along to Royston Wardieburn Community Centre on Monday 2 September at 5pm.

 

 

Spring volunteer sessions at Granton Castle garden

Dear Friends Group members and supporters, 

Lots of changes happening at the walled garden as we start on our second growing season.
Twenty new fruit trees have been added to the community orchard over the last year to complement the existing heritage fruit trees which sprung back to life in 2018.
Regular volunteer sessions are back on at the garden on the usual days of Sunday and Wednesday.
New time from Wednesday 23rd January: 10am start – 12pm finish. 

Lazy Sundays with same start time of 11am – 1pm.

We will be carrying on with some woodland management, landscaping and designing some newly opened areas of the garden this spring and hope to add some more creative activities for the spring, extra volunteering days, wee glasshouse and a working composting toilet!
Best wishes, 
Kirsty Sutherland
on behalf of the Friends Group
