What plants grew well this year? How can we share these stories?

From Lemon Drop tomatoes which love the cool and damp to a Winter Density lettuce which stays crisp all winter… we’ve gathered some of the stories of varieties which did really well for growers in Scotland.

Mark the end of the growing season and help us co-create a zine (or small publication) of images, stories and songs about the best seeds of the year!

This is a relaxed gathering, open to all, whether you’ve been growing crops this year, or just want to share stories about locally-grown plants and foods.

Warm drinks, hot vegan soup and snacks will be provided.
