It's been lovely having an opportunity to bring Anna's expertise to our walk and talk in nature sessions on Wednesday's. This week we looked at changes that the seasons bring and made our own ointments to take home. We also tasted burdock syrup and mint infusion, both delicious 😋 We also tasted brambles and picked plums to ripen at home. As part of our Restore The Burn project.

Our Fringe outing today took us to Lauriston Castle to see a fantastic magic show! We got to enjoy exploring the ground of the castle.

We were also delighted to visit the Alzheimer’s Scotland Green Brain Health Centre where Lisa told us about their services promoting good brain health and supporting people with dementia. We were delighted to see their beautiful gardens and very grateful for a cuppa too! You can read more about their centre here: https://www.alzscot.org/our-second-brain-health-dementia-resource-centre-is-now-open/

We had a fabulous afternoon yesterday, visiting an exhibition at Modern Two Gallery and exploring the amazing grounds and gardens. Everyone loved visiting such an accessible place on their doorsteps, away from the bustle of the main Fringe.

This August we have a whole programme of outings to different Fringe venues that ajoin beautiful greenspaces. Get together, enjoy a show or exhibition and enjoy the amazing nature that Edinburgh has to offer.

We're delighted to be offering these outings as part of an EVOC funded programme of activities, with ticket and transport costs covered by The Fringe Days Out Initiative.
