February has almost flown by! The days are getting longer and as we head into March we have lots of garden volunteering opportunities, with some later slots and weekend sessions coming up - all dates and details are listed in the Events section of our website (link in bio)⛅

For anyone keen to learn more about the basics of seed starting and plant care, our seed sowing sessions for the herbal garden are open to all🌱

Our Saturday sessions in March will also be a great chance to look around and chat if you're part of a local group interested in a small allotment plot in the gardens, a space for community, learning, and connection with nature🐦

Latest episode: Gorgie Community Farm - I went along to find out about the future of this much loved space and to hear how the community is getting involved once more.

We talked green shoots, gardening and guinea pigs. It's a great place to volunteer if you're looking for gardening or community.

Hope everyone is keeping warm and well! There's no stopping the momentum on site, and during February we will be continuing to clear the area for developing our medicinal herb garden with Napiers, and the orchard kindly funded by Scotmid🌿🌳

The volunteer days below will be perfect for anyone keen to put practical and creative building skills to use, with plenty of good old digging and getting muddy too🧑‍🌾🥾
