Green-fingered villagers in rural Stirlingshire are able to access seeds for free as part of an effort to encourage food growing at home.
Balfron’s Emma Calvert has brought the ‘seed libraries’ to a quartet of rural villages in the region, allowing residents to pick up free seeds for growing at spots including libraries and community halls.
The seeds can then be used to develop their own produce at home, as well as helping to grow wildflowers - with the idea of creating a ‘seed bank’ made up of seeds that are adjusted to growing in the conditions here.
