Shoreline updates

April 1, 2019  |  By Charlotte Johnson

Edinburgh Shoreline project has reached Glasgow!

Armeria maritimafor page 18

A few weeks ago Dr Larissa Naylor from the University of Glasgow joined us for our 1st anniversary celebration, taking part in our discussion panel. As a token of our appreciation we gifted Larissa a packet of wildflower seeds – thrift, to be exact. Thrift, or armeria maritima, with its beautiful pink flowers loves to grow by the sea; sea cliffs, saltmarshes and dunes are some of it’s favourite places.

We were delighted to receive an email a week later to say that Larissa’s two young children wanted to grow the thrift with their nursery classes. Cue some excellent photos of wee ones getting stuck in to some seed sowing! They’ll now be tending them with care and consideration for the coming few weeks.

Once the seeds have germinated and grown into substantial seedlings they’ll be sending them back to us so that we can use them with community groups who want to spruce up their shoreline, bringing it full circle back to Edinburgh.

Edinburgh Shoreline is an exciting, community centred initiative celebrating the city’s 27km coastline.

We are rediscovering its fascinating and often unknown history and the rich plant and animal life that survives against the odds in unexpected places, and inspiring people to explore their coast and take responsibility for its future health.

 

 

We are very grateful to our current partners and funders

We are very grateful to have been supported and funded so well in the past.
