Pilton Community Gardeners have planted a rowan tree in memory of one of their own – community activist Brian Robertson.
Brian (pictured below (centre) with fellow Social History Group members Brian Eddington and Anna Hutchison), who sadly passed away in May 2013, was an enthusiastic participant in a wide range of community activities over many years. Among them was Pilton’s Community Garden – Brian was one of the original community gardeners when the group launched in 2012, planting one of the first trees on the site off West Pilton Place.
Since then, the garden – and the group of enthusiastic gardeners – has yes, grown and grown! Gardener Kirsty Sutherland said: “We have come a long way and hope Brian would be proud of the garden now and approve of the rowan tree planted in his memory today.”
