Horticulture and Sustainable Food Systems
Our programmes look at the range of processes that are involved in growing food, and the many journeys taken to get to our plate. We provide opportunities for young people aged five to 18 to engage in the world of growing food in our organic garden and on the wider Dumfries House Estate.
About our programmes
We cover many aspects of food production and consumption through a series of seasonal day workshops and longer-term programmes investigated through three key areas: The Journey of our Food, Growing for our Future and Horticulture Skills.
These cover how and where we grow our food, responsible production and consumption, waste management and how we maintain biodiversity and sustainability at every point.
