Places are still available on a year-long SQA-accredited course that will take you from seed packet to dinner plate.

The course, provided through Cothrom and UHI Outer Hebrides, will lead to an SVQ Level 2 qualification in horticulture.

Participants will be equipped with gardening, preserving and cookery knowledge to help lower food bills and increase the nutritional value of meals.
