Save the PALM HOUSES at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Donate Today

We’ve just reached a key moment in the Palm House restoration, with the first iconic arched window reinstalled, and scaffolding removed around the ‘crow’s nest.’ These milestones are a testament to the progress we’ve made, but there’s still so much work to be done. Your gift today will get us closer to our goal of reopening the Palm Houses.

You can make a difference today

Over 200 years, the stonework has crumbled, the ironwork rusted, the glasswork broken and ineffective.

But you can help to change this.

Your contribution means a resilient future for the Palm Houses, where they can open their doors to you once more.

Your gift will mean the Palm Houses can provide a haven for incredible plants, some under threat in their native habitats.

Donate today, and your gift will be put to work immediately - the ironwork has proven to be in a worse condition than originally thought, and there is a lot still to do.

Save The Palm Houses

Our revitalised Palm Houses will be a living classroom, showcasing the beauty and importance of these exquisite plants

Your Impact

Your support is an investment in a greener, more resilient future.

Species like the majestic Black Tree Fern, with its 5-meter fronds, will flourish, turning the Palm Houses into a living classroom.

Each new pane of glass is a testament to sustainability, using reinforced glass to keep the plants protected and energy usage down.

Your support is not just a donation; it is a pledge to uphold the beauty, biodiversity, and historical legacy of our garden.

Whether you give £10 or £100, with matched funding your gift will make an impact. Please donate today.
