What is a digital garden? It’s a standard allotment type garden, but with digital devices monitoring water moisture levels, greenhouse digitally controlled watering and ventilation systems, QR codes identifying plants. We even have a movement-monitored camera that captures wildlife movement that the school can access. The learners worked with SSERC staff to design, build, and plant fruits, flowers, and vegetable seeds.
We were delighted that Provost Leishman agreed to formally open the SSERC digital garden in June 2022. SSERC staff and staff and learners from King’s Road took the then Chair of the SSERC Board (Alan Nimmo) and the SSERC CEO (Alastair MacGregor) were present for the opening.
