Jock Tamson's Gairden

Charity registered in Scotland SC016610

Our four acre field is in a beautiful location overlooking Duddingston Loch under Arthur’s Seat. Over the last five years volunteers and groups have been working together to transform this space by growing organic vegetables, fruit and flowers, making access paths and creating peaceful places to sit and enjoy the gairden. We donate our produce to various projects around the city which distribute food to people who need it.
