Located within a highly populated area in the east of Edinburgh, Redbraes Community Garden has been developed from an area of unused grass between community housing into a flourishing and vibrant well used community area, with vegetables, flowers and wildlife. Redbraes Community Garden aims to allow local people to grow their own fruit and vegetables, learn about gardening, healthy eating and teamwork with a view to increasing the health of the local community.

The garden aims to provide:
- A space that brings people together
- A place where the community can grow fruit and vegetables
- Inspiration to others to create their own fruit and vegetable plot
- A haven for wildlife
In 2008 Redbraes Residents Association joined forces with the local Community Police Officer to develop the garden to provide new activities for residents and promote greater community integration. The garden is now popular with local families, community groups and schools using the site.
