Granton Castle Walled Garden
We are delighted and honoured to collaborate with Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden. This magical and sacred garden became new home for Mycobee Mushrooms from July 2023.
Dates for community mushroom growing classes will be announced shortly.
Granton Castle Walled Garden has stood on the coast of north Edinburgh since the turn of the 16th century and is managed by the community. It is a historic green-space where anyone can volunteer or visit.
The Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden run five volunteer and two visitor sessions per week, alongside a wide range of seasonal workshops.
