I
was delighted to learn that Barnhill Rock Garden has again retained its Green Flag
status in the 2014 Keep Scotland Beautiful awards. The Green Flag Award is the
benchmark for a quality green space. Entrants are judged on whether the park or
green space is welcoming; healthy, safe and secure; clean and well-maintained;
sustainable; manages conservation and heritage; has community involvement;
markets itself, and has good management.
Many
thanks to the friends group, gardeners, volunteers and Dundee City Council’s environment
staff for all their hard work in making Barnhill Rock Garden such a great asset
for Broughty Ferry. It’s a beautiful place to spend some time and I know it is hugely
appreciated by the local community.
