Shared Garden
The shared rear garden features a lawn, and established trees and greenery. Also gives access to the 'Strawberry Field' community garden, established by the Edinburgh Community Backgreens initiative. A disused and overgrown area in the centre of a network of tenement backgreens was regenerated as a community greenspace project, to form a hub for community activities. The group was provided with a shared tool shed and tool set and raised planting beds, and this large greenspace further offers fruit trees and berries. The neighbours currently work together to manage the site.
