    Pond Rescue! Volunteers Renew the Community Garden

    Our community garden at Dalkeith Country Park had a very welcome visit from the Scottish Government’s Infrastructure Division. The team arrived as part of a corporate volunteering day, just in time to help us repair our leaky pond!

    They worked together to empty the pond and reline it, even rescuing three frogs and some tadpoles along the way.

    On top of restoring the pond, the volunteers took on the task of painting our boundary fence. Despite the hot weather, they worked tirelessly and made a huge difference in a single day.


    We are incredibly grateful to the team for their time and effort. Without their support we wouldn’t have been able to accomplish such a big job so efficiently!

    Thank you for helping us create a beautiful space for both our community and local wildlife.
