10am – 1pm

EVENT OVERVIEW

The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is a world-renowned scientific centre for the study of plants, their diversity and conservation. It is one of the oldest and most important botanical institutions in the world, the second oldest in the UK.

A third of the collection is housed in the Grade A Listed public Glasshouses, with one of the most iconic structures in the Gardens being the Victorian Palm House. The tallest traditional glasshouse in Britain, it offers a unique glimpse into the Victorian fascination with exotic plants; the tropical palms and humidity resemble a rainforest.

We will spend a relaxing morning strolling through this tranquil and beautiful environment, before stopping at the cafe for refreshments and relaxation.

Terrain: Tarmac Paths

ABOUT Carer Walks

Care for Carers runs a series of walks throughout the year, helping carers to get a short break from their caring roles. We travel through the quiet, peaceful parks and green spaces in and around Edinburgh, sometimes further afield, finding out a little more about our surroundings and one another.

The expected terrain is indicated beside each walk, but sturdy shoes and weatherproof clothing are always essential. Minibus transport is provided where appropriate.

Both carers and former carers are welcome to attend. Please contact us in advance to reserve a place on a particular walk.

Further details on the Carer Walks programme can be found here.
