It's been so lovely having St. Ninians Earth Club coming to visit the garden over the past few weeks. They've planted onions and Spring bulbs in their own raised beds, sown lots of wildflowers, made bird fat balls for hungry birds and made these cute Autumn wreaths out of the beautiful Autumnal coloured leaves and seeds. They've really got involved tasting, smelling and being very curious in the garden. I look forward to welcoming you back in January.

Thank you to everyone who came along today. It's so nice to see so many people enjoying the garden. Well done on making your stunning autumn wreaths and for figuring out the clues to our scavenger hunt.

Another great visit from 101st Edinburgh NE Scout Group. We planted spring bulbs, pansies, created some more courgette trumpets and a game of hide and tig. Thanks for all your help and fun at the garden yesterday.
