The Caley

ELGT are working with the Thriving greenspaces team to make improvements to 3 small parks in Leith. This includes Mill Lane, Junction Street and Dalmeny Street Parks. We are working with the The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society to run community planting days in November.

We were delighted to recently host our Patron HRH The Princess Royal at #SaughtonPark, #Edinburgh to open our new Teaching Glasshouse & celebrate 200 years with a Royal Charter. @RoyalFamily @iplantsman @ScotlandGrows
