Dingwall Digggers thank their visitors;

Dear Quintin, Shaun and Jo,

Thank you so much for your fabulous visit today – all your hard work and wonderful produce gave the DiGGers a memorable and educational experience.

You might like to see some of the photos on our blog: www.dingwalldiggers.blogspot.com

I look forward to more activities in future; it is so important that our youngsters have the opportunity to engage with the natural world and food growing & cooking – understanding how and why it will taste so much better when fresh and local as well as learning the importance of reduced environmental impact.  Just experiencing good food and the interest of preparing it gives them a chance of a better diet and healthier life.

Thanks again,

Susan Swallow
