A community food waste compost scheme is operated with the local primary school. The garden is open to the public and provides a beautiful amenity space for locals and visitors. It has created a part time job and lots of volunteering opportunities. Future plans include the restoration of the derelict greenhouses, looking at ways that the island can become more self-sufficient for food and reducing food waste further.

More information on the above projects is available to download from the Community Food Growing Strategy Guidance Document below. This document is guidance to accompany the Highland Council “Growing our Future; Community Food Growing Strategy” document available here.
