Volunteering and rejuvenation at Jock Tamson’s Gairden

Edinburgh Outdoors

Jock Tamson's Gairden on the shores of Duddingston Loch is the most extraordinary place. Home to community groups and charities, it uses the power of nature and gardening to help many people enjoy the outdoors and find healing and support in this beautiful space. I visited on a classic Edinburgh windy day and met the inspirational head gardener, Lizz Spence, who talked about the team's entry in the Kilt Walk later this month which will raise much needed funds for the brilliant work being done in the garden. We talked while Lizz collected flowers for the weekly produce sale and we had tea in the outdoor kitchen space. There's plenty to discover here and visitors are welcome to just come in and wander round. Find out more by listening in and then checking out their website and social media.
