Friends of Gardner’s Crescent is a charity that brings together people that care about an often overlooked part of the Fountainbridge area in Edinburgh. 

The area has a unique character which has been recognised by the conservation area status and the abundance of listed buildings, namely Rosebank Cottages, Rosebank Buildings and Gardner’s Crescent itself. 

See Google map.

The group was originally formed by dedicated residents with the support local Councillor Kingsley Thomas with the principal aim of maintaining and improving the local area. 

In 2008 the group sought charitable status.  This was to enable to group to have a more formal status in order to bid for funds.

The Friend’s of Gardner’s Crescent aims to:
• promote and encourage the conservation the garden area situated at the centre of Gardner’s Crescent for the benefit and enjoyment of individuals living and working in the neighbourhood
• involve the local community, including businesses in local issues and action, through information exchange, education and practical activities, leading to the improvement and development of community spirit within the neighbourhoods served by the garden area
• promote, encourage and secure the educational value of the garden area, its scenic, historical, landscape and ecological qualities and the provision of facilities conducive to social, educational, recreational and leisure time pursuits.
