Growing Together supports community gardening across Edinburgh.

Community gardens provide natural spaces to relax, meet local people, and enjoy gardening and growing activities.

There are lots of opportunities to get involved across Edinburgh. All local residents are welcome – no skills, prior experience or tools required.

Feel good

“It clears your brain, lifts your mood. All my issues fall away when I enter the garden.”
