Aberdeen In Bloom - Union Terrace Gardens Traditional Cache

CACHE HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY RELOCATED WHILE CONSTRUCTION WORK TAKES PLACE.

RHS Britain in Bloom is an UK - wide initiative to rejuvenate and improve gardens and public open spaces in cities, towns and villages. Aberdeen has reached the finals in the competition element of the campaign 21 times; the first being in 1965! This series of caches will take you to some well known and some not so well known locations where the scheme has made an impact. 

This is the second cache in the series, taking you to the tranquil Union Terrace Gardens, nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, down in the Denburn Valley. 

Within the city, Union Terrace Gardens is well known for the artistic flower beds which adorn the steep banks of the valley. Here you can find creative displsys such as the city's coat of arms created from a mix of different flowers.

Due to the location and proximity to other caches (and therefore a lack of suitable spaces for a larger container) the cache here is "only" a nano but I'm sure that the vibrant displays and peace of the gardens will more than make up for this! 

I hope you enjoy your visit, please see the image gallery for some photos of the gardens!
