Vet School volunteers have teamed up with gardeners from the BBC’s Beechgrove Garden to create a community garden at Easter Bush. Peaceful space This wonderful garden is a fantastic place for our pet owners to visit and also a beautiful green retreat for our staff and students to enjoy. Professor Elaine WatsonHead of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies Image Volunteers get stuck in contributing to the Vet School's community garden A two-and-a-half acre plot within the Vet School’s grounds has been transformed into a peaceful space for clients, staff and students to enjoy. The sloping landscaped garden features a network of paths surrounding flower beds, trees and bushes. Sculpted stone seats offer visitors a place to relax. Laying foundations Clients of the Dick Vet are invited to support the School by sponsoring trees, plants, benches, or a brick in the garden’s path of memories. Mrs Inez Priestly, a dog owner whose pets have been treated at the Dick Vet, laid the first brick in the garden’s path in honour of her late Cavalier King Spaniel, Treacle. She said: “The treatment my dogs have received at the Dick Vet has been beyond words. The vets always empathise with their clients and go the extra mile to help.” Related Links The Beechgrove Garden Publication date 04 Feb, 2016
