JEAN BAREHAM launches her book on these hidden gardens and discusses their history, new research on children's gardens created in early twentieth-century slums, and shares interviews with people who garden.
Jean Bareham founded Greenyonder Tours. Jean says: 'I love showing guests all kinds of green space, whether it's a beautiful historic site, a wildlife garden, or a spot of guerrilla gardening. While researching Hidden Gardens of the Royal Mile I became inspired by Patrick Geddes - a century ago, believing that people in cities suffer from 'nature starvation', he created children's gardens in Edinburgh's Old Town. I've researched these sites and show them in the tour By Leaves We Live - at the same time showing what communities today are doing to create growing spaces around the city.'
Jean Bareham is a qualified English language teacher.
JANE GARVEN, early years teacher at Cowgate Under Fives Centre, will join Jean will at the book event. Jane will talk about an innovative programme which introduces under-fives to nature in Johnston Terrace Wildlife Garden, right in the heart of the Old Town, using an approach called Forest School.
