CAMBO INSTITUTE
creating opportunities for learning in
Heritage, Environment, Arts, Culture and Horticulture
at Cambo Estate

Registered Charity SC028131

At present an estimated 43,000 people visit and enjoy the gardens and woodlands at Cambo:
.  Weekly Green Gym involves local people in environmental volunteering in woodlands at Kingsbarns
.  Waid Academy pupils enjoy sessions in environmental work as part of Skills for Work Intermediate 1 
. Garden students benefit from work experience and training
. Volunteers are involved throughout the year
. School children and nursery groups are involved in work shops
. Garden related courses/workshops/events/guided tours are held regularly
. 6 allotments have been created at Cambo
. Forest Education
. Summer Arts Workshops
. Dry Stone Walling Courses
. Snowdrops by Starlight (www.snowdropsbystarlight.com)

Plans are underway to provide:
· Increased access and activities for schools and groups
· Orienteering
· Exhibition space for artists and sculptors
· Regular talks and courses on a variety of topics
· Increased practical training of garden students

In recent years demand has increased dramatically and our two constraints are lack of
adequate premises and a person to co-ordinate these activities.

Cambo Institute is currently seeking funding to restore and
renovate the Stables, Coach House and Glasshouses and
also to employ a person to co-ordinate activities.

Stables Building
It is proposed that the stables buildings will become the hub for visitor activity on the Estate.
 · Tea room/restaurant
 · Space for interpretation
 · Shop
 · Plant sales
 · 140m  learning loft for groups /conferences
 · Office
 · Toilets

The Coach House
The Coach House will provide live-in accommodation
and study space for garden students and volunteers from
throughout the world who wish to come and experience
life and work on a Scottish estate.

The Glasshouses
The glasshouses will be restored and their use extended
throughout the year to broaden the volunteering, participation
and training opportunities.
