Call to Granton gardeners

The Granton Community Gardeners now have a Tuesday morning gardening club. We meet at 10.30 at the Salvation Army building on Wardieburn Drive for a cup of tea and to pick up tools. Then (weather permitting) we go to work on the community gardens at either end of Wardieburn Road. All very welcome! You don’t need to know anything about gardening to join in.  For more information and updates you can now follow us on Facebook at: http://tinyurl.com/grantoncommunitygardeners
