Garden Sharing

Edinburgh Garden Partners matches older people, or people with a disability or health condition, who are no longer able to access or make the most of their garden, with volunteers looking for growing space.

Sharing your garden can help the space to feel more manageable, as well as giving the opportunity to:develop a rewarding relationship with your garden partner; make a positive contribution to your community; boost your health and well being through greater enjoyment of your garden and enjoy freshly grown produce.

We match our garden owners to volunteers according to where they live and their overall compatibility. We guide and support both to establish a mutually beneficial partnership by making a written agreement, which sets healthy boundaries and shared expectations for what can be achieved.
