The Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society (The Caley) is Scotland’s national horticultural and gardening society. Members include both amateur and professional, generalists, specialists and many others who simply like gardens and gardening.

We aim to encourage and improve the science, art and practice of all types of horticulture and to advance education in gardening and horticulture for everyone.

As a registered charity, we currently host volunteering opportunities at Saughton Park, Edinburgh offer a range of affordable gardening workshops, as well as holding a range of shows at Saughton Park to inspire and encourage others.

We wish to extend our reach across Scotland and need your support to achieve this.   Can you help?

The Caley’s Grow and Learn Award is a practical horticultural award for people with a complex learning need. This may include for example, a learning disability, autism or a mental health challenge. The award offers a flexible framework, ensuring work is completed at a pace appropriate to the learner. On completion of the work, learners will have not only a portfolio of work but also The Caley’s Certificate of Horticultural Achievement. By donating to this project, you can help us to support many more people through the Grow & Learn Award.
