{"id":56688,"title":"Xmas Lights at the Edinburgh botanic Gardens and Edinburgh Zoo","description":"At the Rocktrust we have a longstanding partnership with the Edinburgh Botanic Gardens. Every year we have a garden group from Spring till Winter. Young people attend weekly and tend to our plots. We learn how to grow or own food and it is also linked in with cooking at the Botanics and back at the Hub. The young people regularly leave with fresh produce they have harvested. As part of this partnership the Botanics kindly donate tickets for young people to attend their winter light show.\nThe Rocktrust also has a long partnership with Edinburgh Zoo. Edinburgh Zoo has worked alongside us to provide us with workshops on animal care and welfare\/conservation. We are hoping to have some volunteering opportunities at the Zoo for some of our young people.","content":"<p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bvdbufnzmvwxlmtjcvu25t08xfgwmj4oyrwrmusejf1pcrbg.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"bvdbufnzmvwxlmtjcvu25t08xfgwmj4oyrwrmusejf1pcrbg.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/rrwjskjkoitv9eyk0dov0hixqmafpccvptuxearfmlic9fuc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;project=rock-trust-402409&amp;v=2\" alt=\"rrwjskjkoitv9eyk0dov0hixqmafpccvptuxearfmlic9fuc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;project=rock-trust-402409&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/i9ytuio7g6jsbnjf23xh2y6bu320lblwu6xhwsvwbqtl36q7.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"i9ytuio7g6jsbnjf23xh2y6bu320lblwu6xhwsvwbqtl36q7.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/29vmh7o4dvzpjgwx8ahsl2xnmzabw0ajxvpbyzmon5qj6hgn.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"29vmh7o4dvzpjgwx8ahsl2xnmzabw0ajxvpbyzmon5qj6hgn.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/iydzmdpsbirw9itdo1uvoqmvw61qrs2jeok1s92fqwyrvtvc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"iydzmdpsbirw9itdo1uvoqmvw61qrs2jeok1s92fqwyrvtvc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/rrwjskjkoitv9eyk0dov0hixqmafpccvptuxearfmlic9fuc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"rrwjskjkoitv9eyk0dov0hixqmafpccvptuxearfmlic9fuc.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/knzt5yhjoh4lu2ttgmcionmyt2oaf3opr0ptwxxdwiz2vzij.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"knzt5yhjoh4lu2ttgmcionmyt2oaf3opr0ptwxxdwiz2vzij.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/uswycfdct11g6eqfmkonjzvjkv0e63gc03omys2hprzw7qyd.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"uswycfdct11g6eqfmkonjzvjkv0e63gc03omys2hprzw7qyd.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/rmbrmaarilnzzsfphfaasctha8tkvhnryhomy2wjbdxx7ecs.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"rmbrmaarilnzzsfphfaasctha8tkvhnryhomy2wjbdxx7ecs.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/s1creiof8kxpg0lfyl20tvhughrgbxlpfhunqi826cuw5gdj.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"s1creiof8kxpg0lfyl20tvhughrgbxlpfhunqi826cuw5gdj.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/cogfjhmk7291hggu1jxjx8lioxcwnlvfb6dhemlarkk6mjqa.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"cogfjhmk7291hggu1jxjx8lioxcwnlvfb6dhemlarkk6mjqa.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/ug2iko0dycleq5ydtao4eiprm5aksoh7qqm5uuqdsyq3spdq.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"ug2iko0dycleq5ydtao4eiprm5aksoh7qqm5uuqdsyq3spdq.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/kmkxmbqplucg2ul0vvwxkvzxmxebj9ocl7ym0dres89fyfbz.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"kmkxmbqplucg2ul0vvwxkvzxmxebj9ocl7ym0dres89fyfbz.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/3gtzyjwgdf3lsfxrnduk5uzi31q020uwy7pdzxzs1vnvpvyy.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" alt=\"3gtzyjwgdf3lsfxrnduk5uzi31q020uwy7pdzxzs1vnvpvyy.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;v=2\" \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"xmas-at-the-botanics","url":"\/blog\/xmas-at-the-botanics\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/xmas-at-the-botanics\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/rock-trust.teemill.com\/blog\/xmas-at-the-botanics\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1780318543,"updatedAt":1780320583,"publishedAt":1780320583,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":392902,"name":"Rock Trust"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/cvyhpljchemx0swmwpljcaqudsvnggpttoghxkvtlmyrwzga.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/cvyhpljchemx0swmwpljcaqudsvnggpttoghxkvtlmyrwzga.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/cvyhpljchemx0swmwpljcaqudsvnggpttoghxkvtlmyrwzga.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":52037,"title":"Hub on Tour","url":"\/blog\/hub-on-tour\/","urlTitle":"hub-on-tour","division":392902,"description":"Over the past year we have run a series of workshops out in the community to young people.
