Children in Edinburgh with learning disabilities and complex care needs have been provided with a new garden by environmental volunteering charity BTCV.

The garden, created with help from 60 volunteers from the Royal Bank ofScotland Group, will cater for children at Barnardo's Scotland's Caernservice, which provides short breaks for five- to 18-year-olds.

Koen van der Straeten, children's services manager at Caern, said: "Thisgarden will give the children a wonderful opportunity to learn aboutnature and wildlife while enjoying the benefit from the healthy andtherapeutic aspects of gardening. The young people are also lookingforward to growing their own vegetables in the garden."
