Green-fingered vets on BBC
Vet School volunteers have teamed up with gardeners from the BBC’s Beechgrove Garden to create a community garden at Easter Bush.
Peaceful space
This wonderful garden is a fantastic place for our pet owners to visit and also a beautiful green retreat for our staff and students to enjoy.
A two-and-a-half acre plot within the Vet School’s grounds has been transformed into a peaceful space for clients, staff and students to enjoy.
The sloping landscaped garden features a network of paths surrounding flower beds, trees and bushes.
Sculpted stone seats offer visitors a place to relax.
Laying foundations
Clients of the Dick Vet are invited to support the School by sponsoring trees, plants, benches, or a brick in the garden’s path of memories.
Mrs Inez Priestly, a dog owner whose pets have been treated at the Dick Vet, laid the first brick in the garden’s path in honour of her late Cavalier King Spaniel, Treacle.
She said: “The treatment my dogs have received at the Dick Vet has been beyond words. The vets always empathise with their clients and go the extra mile to help.”
