Community garden becomes just a bit too much fun.

Community gardens are fun, but it seems for Dean Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland that fun is more than just growing your own veg.
Dean Gardens, overlooking the New Town and the Water of Leith, had been hijacked by youths for use as a drinking area.
And no, it was not tomato juice or a cabbage smoothie they were imbibing.

“Lock-ins” took place when the frisky youths managed to get hold of keys to hold their weekend sessions.
The 500 households who are community members of Dean Gardens have been warned by local police to keep their keys to the site safe.
