1 folder containing a Creative Nature booklet outlining activities compiled for the Year of Natural Scotland 2013 which included the event 'Walking with Poets' held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and its three regional gardens of Benmore, Logan and Dawyck; and Cove Park, June - September 2013. " This year poets Sue Butler, Mandy Haggith, Jena Atkin and Gerry Loose have taken up poetry residences at the four gardens of the RBGE as well as at Cove Park. Walking with Poets provides a chance for these poets to immerse themselves in the magnificent environments and share their awareness, their practice, and their vision of nature with communities around Scotland and the world. The residencies will take place throughout the year and there will be a special closing event held at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh on St Andrew's Day 2013. Each of the poets will be blogging about their residency at: walkingwithpoets.wordpress.org ." This was a partnership between the Scottish Poetry Library, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and Cove Park.
Inserted into the booklet are four postcards, one for each poet, signed and featuring a quote.

RBGE Garden Guide Daily Diary volume 1
Daily Diaries kept by the RBGE volunteer Garden Guides to record how their tours went, and to make observations regarding the type of visitor on the tour; their interests and where they were from; what was discussed; the weather; plants in flower/looking good in the Garden, etc.

Two boxes of correspondence, seed lists and field notes to, from and relating to Reginald Farrer and his expeditions to Kansu (Gansu) in Northern China (1914-1915) and Upper Burma (1919-1920) and one box containing a photo album and letter. These records were likely brought together from various sources within the RBGE Archives so that items relating to Farrer were kept together. It has been decided to keep this collection together.

This is a set of ledgers and notebooks that document seed and live plant material being sent to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, who donated them, where from and when.

The lists consist of a series of registers, lists and indices relating to the Edinburgh University Botany and Practical Botany classes held at RBGE.
