The gardeners of the Wheatfield Backgreen in the Gorgie district of Edinburgh would like to encourage people who like to garden to let or purchase flats in our tenement block.

All block residents have access to a shared garden with these features:

• We currently have space available for additional vegetable-growing allotments.
• We have a number of beds with flowers and other interesting plants that we are maintaining and we would like to develop more.
• We have a large grass lawn which we keep mowed which is good for garden parties and similar activities.
• We have a large locked shed for keeping shared gardening equipment.
• We have composting facilities, including a “Rocket” composter (which produces compost in only 2 weeks).

There are currently flats available both for sale and to let; see our web site for a list. There are roughly 260 flats in the block, and flats regularly come on the market.

We would like to increase the proportion of residents in our block who would like to help in maintaining and using our shared garden. If you like to garden and you are thinking of moving to or within Edinburgh, then please consider joining us!

We would be grateful to receive feedback on where we might have good luck in contacting gardeners who might be interested in moving to our block.

With our best regards,

the Wheatfield Backgreen gardeners
