More on this project from Lewis Hou @FiddlerLewis ukri.org/blog/lessons-from-community-climate-projects-in-the-highlands-and-islands
Seaweed Gardens is a community collective of artists, community workers, designers and scientists, working with Green Shoots Community Garden and Oban Hope Kitchen in Oban. They support people with poor mental health and additional support needs, as well as vulnerable and marginalised people, providing food and a community growing hub. Their project explores the impacts of climate change in Oban and its surrounding area by learning about seaweed environments, which are vital carbon sinks in the local environment.
