Thermo Fisher Scientific Support Raised Beds
The Roslin Guerrilla Gardeners are a passionate and proactive community group dedicated to enhancing the local environment, particularly in Roslin, Scotland. They are well-known for transforming neglected public spaces into vibrant, well-maintained floral displays and community gardens, showcasing the belief that every piece of land can be a beautiful, shared resource.
Recently they were concentrating on raising funds to install raised beds at Roslin Primary School. Projects like this bring their passion for gardening, nature lessons, and community spirit right to the kids, giving them a fun, hands-on way to grow food and connect with the outdoors. It's just one more example of the fantastic work they do to help the local community bloom!
As part of their contract with the University of Edinburgh, Thermo Fisher Scientific were keen to get involved in local community projects and were keen to support Roslin Geurrilla Gardeners. Thermo Fisher Scientific made a financial contribution towards the project which echoes their aims to make a positive impact on society and their passion for strengthening the communities in which they live and work in.
The donation toward the planters enabled the gardeners to get them set up, on site at the school, which will allow the pupils, staff and wider community the opportinity to enjoy for years to come.
The raised beds we have installed are quite expensive, but they are made out of recycled plastic and will last for many years, as well as being zero maintenance. We are looking forward to working with the children to plant more flowers, fruit and vegetables for all to enjoy. Thanks so much once again for your kind donation - it has really helped us move forward with this lovely wee project.
