Welcome

Highland Seedlings

An education-led micro-smallholding in the Scottish Highlands.

People

I’m Mairi, an academic, veg grower and community builder. I live slowly and quietly at Highland Seedlings together with my partner, Seamus, and our many pets. I’m a writer, teacher and imagineer.

Fearn Free Food Garden

We run a small community garden in Hill of Fearn, in the Scottish Highlands, where we grow free food for our local community with a group of volunteers.

Community

Our slow-living community is hosted on Patreon, where we teach courses in all sorts of slow living skills, and write about living quietly.

Living quietly is an act of resistance.

We live slowly and intentionally, and we want to help others do the same – from growing their own food to resisting capitalism in small, everyday ways.
