We entered this year's Eco-Schools Scotland Pocket Picnic Garden competition, and our entry can be seen on the Keep Scotland Beautiful website. We had upcycled water collectors designed by a friend in our community, and reused an old water tray to make our garden. We transplanted the herbs from our 2025 garden of healing, and also grew strawberries, courgettes and salad leaves. We will continue our Forest School sessions this autumn as part of our Eco mission.

The garden had a local heritage theme. We grew healing plants from seed and used pebbles gathered on Portobello beach and in the Highlands. We also used slate from Greenbank Parish Church. Our garden was voted a winner and is currently being showcased on the Eco-Schools Scotland website. We have maintained our Eco Green Flag status for over 10 years, and this year we were appraised by the Council and the Scottish Government for our Eco achievements.
