Fiona Brown

In 2020 I made the move to become a therapeutic horticulturist, as I wanted to share my love of nature to support others with their mental health and well-being. I currently work for the Eric Liddell Community in Edinburgh delivering social and therapeutic horticulture to people living with dementia, and an open community group. I co-organise and lead weekly wellbeing walks with a focus on nature and wellbeing. I am also creating the Eric Liddell Peace Garden, which forms part of the Eric Liddell 100 project, at Morningside United Church. I also work freelance within social and therapeutic horticulture, with recent clients including Defence Garden Scheme, working with military veterans on their Scottish pilot in West Lothian.
