We are better equipped to describe and measure the benefits of our wildlife/biodiversity projects and spread the skills around nature based solutions to other local gardeners.  Garden volunteers have been inspired to come up with new projects and try out new ideas at our community space in Kirkcaldy and visiting the whole site has provided additional practical ideas and discussions on how the larger Botanic gardens manages our more extreme climate (storms, drought) to help us solve some of our own problems.

Learning Outcomes

• Gain ideas and learn from the projects already running around rewilding, biodiversity and nature based solutions. What can we take away to do in Kirkcaldy?
• Improve our public engagement to get more people involved in rewilding type activities, how can we get people to accept and embrace untidiness, wildness and get tips on what’s worked and not worked in Dundee.
• Team building and new projects for our volunteers.

"We had an inspirational and enjoyable trip to hear all about what goes on at Dundee Botanic Garden. Much of what was shared gave everyone ideas that could be taken back to our community space, including how the garden is adapting to changes in climate and more regular storms."
