If you have been to the Garden recently you may have spotted our Little Free Library, situated between our Glasshouses and main Science buildings. The concept of a Little Free Library is quite simple: ‘ Take a Book. Leave a Book’. It is a global movement that offers an opportunity to share books that teach, intrigue, engage and inspire. And ours is the first in Scotland!

Our Little Free Library currently has a great selection of fact and fiction, including plant and garden focussed books. Pop along and have a look! If you see something you would like to read, take it. Once you’re done, return it to a Little Free Library, or pass it on to a friend. Simple.

You can donate books to our Little Free Library at either of our visitor receptions, at the East or West gates.
