Welcome to the SEER Centre, and the home of Rockdust®
ECO-FRIENDLY GARDENING AND FARMING WITH ROCKDUST
HELPING SOILS TO ABSORB EXCESS CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
The SEER Centre Trust is a Scottish charity (SCO37139) with far-reaching global aims that are achievable via down to Earth projects. The SEER Centre Gardens are open at different stages in the growing season, so the public can see, smell and taste our mineral-rich fresh produce grown in the SEER Centre terraces and also attend educational lectures in the gardens.
Individuals, large groups and coach parties are welcome for garden visits by advance booking please.
Volunteers are welcome. See visitscotland.com for local accommodation. Kindrogan Field Centre is just two miles away from the SEER Centre and can offer accommodation and meals at reasonable prices, when available. Please contact Kindrogan at www.fieldstudies-council.org to book in advance.
Courses and working holidays:
We are currently developing an exciting new education development for the centre, in association with Kindrogan Field Centre. We are creating training courses (both weekend and longer week courses) into the use and great benefits of rockdust to the environment, organic ecological gardening and self-sufficiency techniques. The first courses will be announced on this site shortly. Email us your contact details and we will send you full information as soon as the courses are announced.

Lectures:
Cameron and Moira Thomson, Co-Founders of The SEER Centre Trust and its trading arm, Rockdust Ltd., are available - at the SEER Centre or away - for presentations on their experience, experiments, discoveries, and the development of The SEER Centre, SEER Rockdust®, Rocksoil and Rockmix.
Cameron explains how todays climate change is linked to Earth's soil history and he discusses our potential to stabilise climate change by assisting soils to absorb excess CO2 from the atmosphere via soil remineralisation and sustainable ecological management.
Moira demonstrates how this can be achieved on local levels, whether in containers, gardens or farms and woodlands. Her slide show gives a pictorial history of how the SEER Centre was created in a barren glen and developed to its present stage - 4 acres of beautiful terraced gardens and bumper organic health-promoting crops - the oasis in the glen. If it works here, it will work in Africa or Siberia - Remineralisation really can assist in growing soil and reclaiming deserts!
WE WANT REAL FOOD
The SEER Centre is featured in Graham Harvey's fantastically informative book 'We Want Real Food' which argues the case for soil remineralisation to improve soil health, food chain, mineral content and nutritional value of the nations food. If you want to be able to buy fresh remineralised food in your local area, please read "We Want Real Food" and actively support soil remineralisation and the We Want Real Food Campaign. www.wewantrealfood.co.uk
