Adaptation Agriculture – with Joseph Lofthouse

We’re happy to be the venue for this special event with Joseph Lofthouse (author of Landrace Gardening: Food Security Through Biodiversity and Promiscuous Pollination) organised by a collaboration of Abundant Borders and the The Gaia Foundation Seed Sovereignty Programme, with support from Borders Organic Gardeners. For all seed and plant folk, Joseph will be giving a talk followed by a Q&A and discussion around adaptation agriculture, landrace gardening, and biodiverse crowd breeding. This is a must-see event for any growers interested in plant breeding, landraces, increasing plant genetic diversity, and growing food in increasingly challenging climate conditions.

How to Find the Market Garden

The Market Garden is next to Cramond Road South

You can come in from the gate on Cramond Road South on foot or by bike, or arrive at the main entrance behind Toby Carvery, and walk/cycle across the farm (allow around 15 minutes to walk across the farm). There is no car parking on Cramond Road South or in the Market Garden (unless you contact us in advance and request a space – spaces are reserved for disabled people who need it for accessibility)

Please note, the turn into the Market Garden coming downhill on Cramond Road South is a very dangerous blind corner. If you’re arriving at that gate by bike (or in a car for a pre-booked space) we recommend continuing 50m round the corner to the roundabout so you can safely turn and approach the entrance on a left hand turn.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
