The Bamboobelly kids garden project is a garden project which aims to revitalise a derelict public garden (a Meadows Park Corner/ one of the main Entrances of Edinburgh’s Meadows ) through arts, music, painting and cinema. Since 2014 every year we draw a plan of what features should be worked, fixed or improved on and what new features are needed for the summer and throughout the year. This year the garden needs new play bark, canvas for the stage, new wooden toys, musical instruments, new fence, a pump and a liner for the pond, a piano, a marimba, a small shed to keep the toys and instruments safe. The intention is to create a perfect natural space for children and provide a lasting legacy after the summer.

Bamboobelly aims to expand people’s imagination, allowing us all to have big dreams in small public spaces; making our surroundings beautiful and inspiring with little resources in time of austerity. We aim to take responsibility and be part of a positive change, including all the community.
