Round And Round The Gardens

It was a very exciting day today because I got the chance to go and visit some of the other Beechgrove Community Gardens in and around Edinburgh. My first stop was Silverburn in Midlothian. What a stunning garden, superb cake and a very warm welcome we were given. I really liked the way the garden was laid out and there were some tree benches which I think would work well in our school garden.


The next stop was the mining museum at Newton Grange. Despite being so close to the main road, this garden provided a peaceful haven where you could sit and relax and watch the world go by. I really liked the way that pieces of mining machinery were used to provide features throughout the garden.

The last stop was the 'secret' walled garden in Corstorphine. Very tranquil and off the beaten track it was a very impressive in size and looked amazing with a vast array of beautiful plants and trees.
