About the garden

North Edinburgh Grows started out as NEA’s award-winning garden project. Now that the project is complete, the NEA garden is a community garden space used by all: local residents, groups and garden projects. It is a real hidden sanctuary in the heart of Muirhouse.

 There is a play area, sand pits, gardening plots for groups, homegrown fruit and veg for the Pop-In Café to use and seats and spaces for relaxing.

Project was conceived and developed by Denna Jones. Design and participatory sculptures were developed in collaboration with environmental artist Natalie Taylor, 2015- 2017.

You can learn more about the NEA Garden story from an online blog written between 2014 and 2018 here.
