Hopetoun Crescent Garden

"Hopetoun Crescent Garden is planted with a diverse range of both native Scottish and foreign tree specimens, some over 120 years old. Along with over 20,000 bulbs, plants and wild flowers, the garden provides all year colour within an acre of greenspace off Leith Walk, close to Edinburgh’s city centre. The garden was once part of the city’s botanical garden before it moved in 1820.

The local community brought the area back into use in the 1990s after many years of neglect and the garden now provides a haven for wildlife and a peaceful a refuge from the bustle of city life. The Friends of Hopetoun Crescent Garden were heavily involved in the creation of the management plan and are keen to continue the promotion of the garden’s heritage. They see themselves as the driving force behind the on-going development of the site.
