Report by Martin Gerrish

The Group considered a report by Martin Gerrish on the Grow Food, Grow Dunoon Project. Martin advised that the project is being delivered in collaboration with Dunoon Community Development Trust and Kirn Primary school and that there are now 8 volunteers with more wanting to join. Information was also provided on school pupil’s involvement and on their highly productive food growing approach.

It was highlighted that last year the group had grew enough food to sell and made over £600 selling locally and at farmers markets.

It was noted that a short video and slide show of pupils talking about their experience in the garden could be found at: www.thegrowfoodproject.co.uk  

Decision

The Bute and Cowal Area Community Planning Group considered and noted the information provided.
