The Edible Park Western Harbour Leith, Edinburgh2013
A new style to “eating local”
01
The Edible Park was inspired by the allotment demand in Edinburgh and Leith. This is a park design that focuses on healthy living and bringing communities together. A current brown field site in the middle of a new housing development, West-ern Harbour will come to life through the large orchard gardens and the long linear strips of vege-table planting in this new, modern design.
