What is the Royal Edinburgh Community Hospital Garden?

Our community garden at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital is an NHS Lothian initiative. We want to create opportunities to build a garden community for patients and the local communities.

We do gardening using climate friendly techniques to grow local food and support wildlife, while building community and developing skills. We run practical sessions, workshops, events and shared meals to build skills in gardening, while encouraging healthy eating and promoting social inclusion.
