Jock Tamson's Gairden
People Place Plants – a Community Garden for Edinburgh
JOCK'S FESTIVE FANCIES: SATURDAY 30TH DECEMBER - MILLAR HALL, DUDDINGSTON KIRK
We're loving these frosty days at the Gairden - the crisp air, the frost making the grass sparkle, the bright sun.....but we're totally FROZEN too! So, we've been coorying in making wreaths for your delight.

Another stunning day in the Gairden. How lucky are we to be able to visit, volunteer & work at this beautiful site?

I’m Martyn, I’ve been volunteering at Jock Tamson’s Gairden since May 2024. I found out about the Gairden through Volunteer Edinburgh; at the same time I’d started a college course. The course was aimed towards volunteering, the main focus being how someone like me could be an asset to the organisation I work for.
Volunteering at the Gairden has helped with a lot of things: it’s helped me improve my mental and physical health. I have been able to implement skills I already knew I had, improve, and pick up new skills too.
As first I wasn’t so sure of what to expect when joining the Gairden, I was anxious about doing something new and about meeting new people.
What made that easier is the beautiful surrounding and the community that the Gairden has. The other volunteers are friendly, kind and supportive; they help make the Gairden a safe environment for everyone there.
On the 15th September a team of us did the Edinburgh Kiltwalk and raised over £5,000 to help with projects in the Gairden. I was pleased to help raise funds for such a good cause.
The Gairden has been a positive experience for me and I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in gardening, landscaping and conservation. Jock Tamson’s Gairden is the place for you.

The Thursday gang welcomed the Lord Provost, Robert Aldridge to officially open JOCK'S KITCHEN. Home-made woodfired pizza was amazing as always thanks to Paddy and Jon. Lots more great local food and cooking to come. Thanks to Nature Hubs for the funding.

This was after the Harvest Festival service and the tree will be a focal point of the view from the Millar Hall.
Thank you Lizz for helping this to happen.
