Food Link Seedy Sundays
The NWS Food Link will be holding a seed exchange event at Durness Hall on
Sunday 16th March, 12 till 2. Recently the concept of "Seedy Sundays" has
emerged where seed swapping sessions can take place and this is the basis of our
event at Durness. Our Seedy Sunday will involve traditional or home grown seeds.
Everyone is invited to bring along all the excess seed that is at the bottom of
their seed box to swap and give other people the chance to try a few seeds from
different varieties without the need to purchase whole seed packets . Simply put
your seeds in a labelled envelop and bring them along. If you don't have seeds
to swap then come along anyway.
There will be cuttings for sale or swap, (certainly willows and poplars), a seed
sowing demonstration, seed potatoes, onion sets, composts and plant pots for
sale. As usual the Food Link will be doing its acclaimed Café, with tasty soups
made from local vegetables, locally made bread, teas and coffees and
home-baking. . Even though this isn't the Tattie Fest…Mr (Seed) Potato Head
might make a guest appearance and the countryside ranger will be making bird
seed cakes too.
Entry free

When the range is active, red flags will be displayed and sentries positioned on
the u70 road. All efforts will be made to keep the u70 road open. However due to
the nature of some practices and in the interest of public safety, closure may
be necessary. Access advice can be sought from the sentries, who will be in
contact with the range officer conducting the firing, or by contacting the
freephone number. However, whatever the nature of the practice, under no
circumstances is any person to leave the road or proceed anywhere onto the land,
particularly the land north of the road within the range area, when the red
flags are flying. For further information on the opening and closing of the road
and military activity telephone the range freephone number.0800 833300
