Former Burberry employee starts sustainable business in Skye

Izzy Cunningham, a mother of two, created the business in March 2021 with the help of Highlands & Island Enterprise (HIE).

She was inspired to do so after losing her regular income due to lockdown restrictions at the beginning of the pandemic.

Scribe & Grow is her second project, dedicated to sustainability and zero waste.

The business’s greetings cards, featuring an array of designs, are made from 100% pre-consumer recycled cotton and are packed with bee-friendly flower seeds.

Grow candles inspired by Scottish scents soon followed – a zero-waste product that allows consumers to burn the candle then plant its basil-infused paper insert around the pot. 

Scribe & Grow is a new business based on the Isle of Skye, focusing on plantable greetings cards and zero-waste candles.
