Community growing project Incredible Edible Inverness hosts harvest picnic

Apple pressing at the Incredible Edible Inverness harvest picnic.

Apple pressing and sampling locally-harvested produce were on the menu at a celebration of another growing year in Inverness.

The community growing project, Incredible Edible Inverness, hosted its second harvest picnic at the city’s Bellfield Park.

The group was first launched in 2020 to meet demand for locally grown foods and was also driven by a wish to improve otherwise often overlooked areas while bringing communities together.

• Incredible Edible Inverness adds landmark site by River Ness to its growing spaces

• New apple orchard launched

Feis The Music provided music at the Incredible Edible Inverness harvest picnic.

The group was joined at the free harvest picnic by Knocknagail Hub, Fair Trade Inverness, Inverness Tool Library, Seeds of Scotland, The Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Cycle Mobility.

People were able to enjoy some of the locally-harvested produce on a sharing table and cups of tea as well as sharing information, trying out various bicycles and listening to music from Feis The Music.

The event will now be held annually.
