Planet Sutherland built Gledfield School’s polytunnel through the Covid difficulties. Come along and see what a Highland Polytunnels construction looks like. Find out what’s growing there, and find out about joining the Gledfield School garden / polytunnel summer volunteers.

Join Eva for free hour-long KundaDance® session on Talmine beach followed by a cooling wild swim with North Coast Wet N Wild. KundaDance® is an uplifting, cardio, dance workout. It’s a creative movement class combining Kundalini Yoga, Thai Chi and Qi Gong. But most of all it's really FUN! A wild dip is the ideal way to cool off after the session, and this is a great opportunity to experience the many health benefits that come with cold-water immersion. We recommend coming wearing swimwear underneath your clothes, as there are no indoor changing facilities at the beach.

Another foraging event, this time in Rogart and being organised by Planet Sutherland. Join Emma Armstrong to find out what food and herbs can be foraged in Rogart and how they can be used.
