Dandelion Harvest events

Dandelion is a six-month Scotland-wide creative celebration of growing, music and community – rooted here but with an international outlook, and with sustainability at its heart. The project has followed the arc of the growing season, from April to September – ending with hundreds of Harvest events some of which are in Edinburgh, driven by the concept Sow, Grow and Share.
