The Lyth Arts Centre Unexpected Garden will take the garden to the people! A curtain-sider trailer converted into an innovative growing space will tour to 4-5 sites across Caithness.

On arrival at each site, the raised beds and planters will roll off the trailer to create a garden and audience area. The trailer will become a performance and workshop space, offering seating and integrated lighting/electricals allowing the gardens to be brought into the heart of each community. Each site will also offer the chance to ‘dig in’ and create more permanent planting.

We hope to create a cyclical growing pattern where communities across the county grow food for each other. We’ll explore where our food comes from, how it’s transported, and try some experimental approaches to cultivating vegetables.
