Summer in St Ninian’s Eco Garden

Summer in St Ninian’s Eco Garden

About this memory

This is a photo of the Eco Garden at St Ninian’s, Restalrig. It’s a small and quiet garden that used to be a forgotten, overgrown place but with the help of volunteers has been completely transformed. Now, it’s full of life, such as bees, birds and other creatures.  It has a strong focus on biodiversity and making a relaxing, educational space for everyone. Over 100 children from the local primary school have been invited to help plant, explore, and learn by connecting with nature. It’s helped us understand how important it is to care for the planet. A lot of us like me don’t have gardens at home, so it’s been amazing to have this space and be able to watch the plants and life thrive especially when it is things you and the other volunteers have helped grow!
