About
Stranraer Harbour and Marina, Thursday 14 July, 1–4pm
Our Free for Alls are travelling Scotland this summer, bringing free plants to anyone who fancies having a grow. Join us for mini-festivals of growing – with performances, advice on how to get started and free plants for all. You can just turn up on the day with no need to book, and both admission and plants will be – yes! – absolutely free.
We’ll be at the Stranraer Harbour and Marina with another big plant plug giveaway.
