Drakkar’s Drift Garden – 11 – Edinburgh
Wednesday 16th September 11am
Meet at the entrance of Drakkar’s Drift, located within Victoria Park, 141, Newhaven Road, Edinburgh, EH6 4NG. It is a stunning, immersive garden inspired by Scotland’s historic ties with Scandinavia, the healing power of nature, and sustainable design. . Designed by Leith resident Luke Coleman, the garden achieved remarkable success at the RHS Flower Show, winning a Gold Medal, RHS Young Designer of the Year, the People’s Choice Award and Best Construction. Inspired by Scotland’s historic links with Scandinavia and its rugged west coast, the restorative benefits of nature and sustainable design principles, the garden transforms a former bowling green in Victoria Park into a vibrant, accessible community space. Particular attention has been given to texture, movement, colour, scent, and sound, creating an engaging and inclusive experience for all visitors.
Features include accessible pathways, seating areas, sensory planting, mature trees, wildlife habitats and striking sculptural elements that support biodiversity and encourage people to connect with nature. We will lunch in one of the local cafés.
