Why are we making a garden?
We’re making a new garden for Dunoon Goes POP, the soft drinks enterprise based at the POP shop in Dunoon. We want to bring soft drinks production back to Dunoon in a way that minimises our impact on the planet and maximises our positive impact on the community.
We’ll do this by connecting people to the fascinating heritage of soft drinks-making through practical workshops, growing ingredients and gathering local heritage stories. All workshops are free and everyone is welcome.
Thanks to National Lottery players, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund, we’re running two Dunoon Goes POP projects to help us work towards a socially enterprising approach to local soft drinks production.
