Harvest Festival at the Unexpected Gardens

Join us to celebrate our Unexpected Gardens here on the Rosneath Peninsula at a special Harvest Festival on Saturday 10 September. This event is part of Dandelion, and will take place at Centre 81 Garelochhead from 11am – 2pm, and then at Cove Sailing Club from 4pm – 8pm.

Food at the Festival is by artist, curator, and culinary designer Rudy Kanhye. Join us in Garelochhead to try seasonal tasters inspired by our local shoreline, and an open fire-cooked lunch. A Harvest Dinner, also created by Rudy, will be shared at Cove Sailing Club accompanied by local botanical infused cocktails.

The Festival is an opportunity to see, hear, and take part in new work by Unexpected Gardens artist Hannah Brackston and Musician in Residence Siôn Parkinson. Siôn will perform ‘Harvest Hymns 21C’, a new work commissioned by Cove Park and a celebration of the end of the growing season, of food, drink and the drunken revelry that often follows. Drop-in workshops suitable for all ages, along with a Plant Swap and Garden Games designed by Hannah Brackston, will take place at both venues. These are free events.
