## Resource

Edinburgh’s city council is set to vote on a bold new plan to open private gardens to the public—potentially transforming how residents connect with nature. Councillor Dan Heap highlights that some private gardens rival public parks in size, offering a lifeline for city dwellers, especially those in deprived areas with limited access to green spaces. Backed by the Scottish Greens and supported by MSP Lorna Slater, the proposal could bring transformative health benefits by unlocking underused land. The council may even help cover costs like maintenance or insurance for owners. With St. Andrew’s Square already proving the concept since 2008, this initiative could be a game-changer for urban wellbeing. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
