The garden is part of the University of Aberdeen and exists &#8220;to promote an appreciation of the beauty, diversity and importance of plants, and an understanding of their role in the natural world.&#8221; On Tuesday November 2nd we were treated to a most entertaining tour of the garden led by the curator, Mark Paterson.

The trees are part of the Trust&#8217;s target to plant a million trees within the next 15 years. The trees will provide shade against expected extreme temperatures, while creating a whole ecosystem that has been degraded over many centuries. They will help threatened salmon stocks and benefit all wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Jamie, Debbie and Shona for making us feel so welcome, providing refreshments, guidance and sharing the lovely cosy fishing hut!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.riverdee.org.uk\">http:\/\/www.riverdee.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;6&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1637322956277-31d12510-81ff-2&#8243; include=&#8221;5011,5012&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<p>A centenary legacy tree was planted in the grounds of the former Soroptimist Housing Association development at Beechgrove Terrace in Aberdeen.
