As part of Bookbug week, the library visited our local community hospital gardens to take part in The Scottish Childminders Association Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

The Green Space at Stirling Health Care Village has been hugely influential in the planning of the Mayfield Secret Garden with support and ideas from Elaine Cochrane, who initiated and oversaw the development there. With thanks to Elaine, the Secret Garden has benefited from collaborations with The Conservation Volunteers and the Forth Valley Men’s Shed.

The Green Space is available to all and there you will find a nature trail, fairy garden, percussion instruments and play equipment. Located just behind the Health Care Village at the foot of the car park.
