Charity Garden Opening - Dean Gardens

Nine acres of semi-woodland garden with spring bulbs on the steep banks of the Water of Leith in central Edinburgh.

Founded in the 1860s by local residents, the Dean Gardens contain part of the great structure of the Dean Bridge, a Thomas Telford masterpiece of 1835.

Lawns, paths, trees and shrubs with lovely views to the weir in the Dean Village and to St Bernard’s Well.

There is also a children’s play area.This is a fundraising event for the open garden charity Scotland’s Gardens Scheme which raises money for hundreds of local charities.
