greenyonder educational services

Greenyonder Tours' knowledge of Edinburgh's green space, traditional and community gardens, social history and healing plants is a great resource for schools, colleges, and informal adult education.

All three Greenyonder guides have backgrounds in adult education and are keen to encourage discussion about a range of topics, either 'on the hoof' or by using green space as an 'outdoor classroom'.

All walking tours in our tours 2011 programme are available for educational bookings, and can be tailored to your students.

Please ask and we will try to meet your needs.

Examples of educational tours and outdoor classrooms:

Jean was involved in the Edinburgh Nature Play conference by running an outdoor workshop on the Edinburgh Free Kindergartens and Patrick Geddes's children's gardens in city slums at the turn of last century. Read workshop notes here

Julia regularly teaches about the uses of medical herbs, including hands-on making of simple herbal remedies, creams and teas in an outdoor setting.

Jean has been employed by the Workers Educational Association and Edinburgh Council's Adult Education Programme to run series of educational walks in green spaces, based on the ideas of Patrick Geddes.
