St Andrews, St Johns Garden

Plans to breathe new life into the medieval garden at the heart of St Andrews have been dashed after Fife Council denied necessary funding. St John’s Garden, which is owned by the University of St Andrews, was to be restored with the money. The University was working in conjunction with the Pilgrim Foundation of St Andrews to turn St John’s into a sensory garden. This sensory garden would be for the benefit of those who were blind, hard of sight or dealing with stress; the garden was to be transformed into an “oasis in the centre of the town” according to a University spokesperson.
