Private Gardens

At Colinton Care Home, our beautiful private gardens provide a peaceful sanctuary where residents can relax, enjoy nature, and connect with the outdoors in a safe and secure environment. Nestled in the heart of Merchiston, Midlothian, our landscaped gardens are thoughtfully designed to offer tranquillity and inspiration while supporting wellbeing and physical activity.

The gardens form an essential part of our home’s calming atmosphere, giving residents the freedom to enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and the changing seasons. Whether taking a gentle stroll along the pathways, tending to plants, or simply sitting quietly surrounded by greenery, the gardens offer a restorative space for both body and mind.

A Tranquil Outdoor Haven

Our gardens feature carefully maintained lawns, colourful flowerbeds, and a variety of seating areas where residents can gather or find a quiet moment to themselves. Raised planting beds and accessible paths ensure that gardening activities are inclusive and safe for all mobility levels.

We encourage residents to take part in gardening projects if they wish, fostering a sense of achievement and connection to nature. The sensory experiences of touching plants, listening to birdsong, and smelling fragrant blooms contribute to emotional wellbeing and relaxation.

Visitors are always welcome to enjoy the gardens alongside residents, making it a special place to share moments with family and friends. The outdoor environment complements our commitment to holistic care, supporting physical health, mental stimulation, and positive social connections.
