Transition Edinburgh South (TES) is part of a transition movement created by people working together in local areas to find ways to create transformative change. Our aims are to reduce carbon emissions, meet social needs, enable sustainable lifestyles, and create new forms of collaborative democracy and decision-making.

Gracemount Community Garden is the principal project of Transition Edinburgh South. It is a beautiful space within the walled garden of Gracemount Mansion House in the South of Edinburgh. In the garden you will find beds of vegetables, herbs, soft fruit, a small orchard, a compost heap, flowers and lovely wild patches in which to sit. Normally visitors are very welcome, but please avoid visiting at this time while we are operating under the Covid 19 restrictions. To find out more about what we do, to ask a question, or to arrange a visit when conditions allow, please get in touch.

We are delighted to have secured funding from National Lottery Community Fund for our project ‘Gracemount Beyond Covid’. We will be working with a range of people, local networks and organisations who are being adversely affected by Covid 19, by offering fun, learning activities and community events in Gracemount Community Garden between now and December 2020.
