An interesting event on farms rather than towns - unfortunately a bit far down south...

Thanks for this ... looks great, but tooo far south! However, the good news is that the Soil Association has 6 climate change events planned this summer, scattered around farms in Scotland. For crofters, growers, etc ... more info here:
