Although the garden has been around since 1957, it’s not the easiest place to find, nestled between the new Royal Bank of Scotland and the Park and Ride at Heriot Watt. So where exactly are we, well here’s an aerial shot, although we are an inch to the right, google haven’t quite found us either -

Horticulture Week
05 June 2009
Flower power drove gardening charity Perennial and land-based college Oatridge’s clapped-out VW Beetle to gold at Gardening Scotland.
Co-designer with Oatridge horticultural team leader Ann Burns, Oatridge Suntrap Garden leader John Smith said the most colourful car in Scotland could now be recycled to make an entrance feature at nearby Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway.

What a perfect Summer’s day we had. The weather was beautiful, the garden was busy.
But, I think Eubee, the snowy owl, might have been the star attraction for many.

How to find us

On Wednesday 18 February 2009, Blue Peter is hosting the World’s Biggest Bring and Buy sale at the Lakeside Shopping Centre. The Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens are helping children grow and eat better food through the Blue Peter’s Mission Nutrition appeal. They have joined up with two other charities, Save the Children and ContinYou, to run the appeal.
Mission Nutrition wants to help children around the world to eat well and grow their own food. It’s also a great way to raise the profile of the community farming and gardening movement and the work their members do on a daily basis to promote the benefits of growing for everyone.
If you can’t come along to their bring and buy sale why not organise your own. A fundraising pack is available on the appeal website.
Alternatively, if you are taking part and want to let us know about it why not leave a comment below.
