The POP Shop's many green initiatives include a community rhubarb growing project, hosting growing workshops in collaboration with Grow Food Grow Dunoon, and a garden area growing flavour-giving plants for its local soft drink start-up business.

Students and teaching staff from the Learning Centre maintain this garden site, which includes a polytunnel and raised beds as well as a wooded area with a pond and some fruit trees. The site is used in various ways to support the curriculum and get pupils involved in growing. 

ESCAPE is the East Cowal Afterschool Project serving Dunoon and surrounding areas. In 2023 the team set up a food growing area. Food is grown in raised beds and used in cooking activities as well as providing learning opportunities. Food has also been donated to the Hub Grub (Dunoon Food Bank).   

In the grounds of the community  hub on Kirk Street are several raised beds made from pallets and other recycled materials. These are used to grow produce for the food bank and provide an opportunity for staff, volunteers and clients to enjoy spending time outside. The team are planning to build several more beds this year so more volunteers are always welcome.  For more information contact hubgrubhub@gmail.com

Scenic Sandbank was recently successful in its funding application to the Scottish Land Fund to create a community garden. The provisional site plans include raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables, a poly tunnel and an open sided classroom.
