Welcome to Ali and Joan and everyone else who has joined GIY Dundrum since our last meeting.
The monthly meeting of Dundrum GIY will take place on Saturday next, August 11th in Airfield at 10.30. We will focus the meeting on how our vegetables have managed in the drought and warm weather and there will be an opportunity to exchange tips and ideas. It is also time to start thinking ahead to our schedule for the Autumn and Winter so we would love to get your input on what topics would be of interest to you and your suggestions for speakers. We have been very lucky so far this year with our excellent line up.
Please make a note in your diary that we have planned a professionally led foraging walk in Airfield for September 22nd. This was hugely popular last year and was a great success. All are welcome and I will be in touch with more detail closer to the time. There is a charge of €12 for this walk.
Hi there, I just joined yesterday. just checking in on when is the next meet up for the group? many thanks! Ali
Welcome to Stephen and other new members of GIY Dundrum.
We will be meeting at our usual time of 10.30 on Saturday next, July 14th in Airfield.
Thanks to Ann McEwan from GIY Clondalkin who has organised a quiz for this meeting. Find out how much you really know about gardening and veg growing - hopefully we might also learn something new!
No prizes, just the fun of meeting others interested in veg growing!
The next meeting of GIY Dundrum will take place in Airfield on Saturday next (June 9th) at 10.30. This month our talk is on organic growing and we are very grateful to Jennifer from Organic Trust who will be speaking.
As ever, if you have seeds or plants to share please bring them as I know there are many people who will be delighted with some new plants.
Welcome to Niall, Bobby and Kate who have recently joined this group. Just to let you and the rest of the group know that the next meeting of Dundrum GIY will take place on Saturday next, May 12th. We will be visiting the wonderful community garden in St.Brigid's National School in Stillorgan, if you have not been there before, you may have seen it on the 'Grow, Cook, Eat' programme on RTE.
The plan is to meet at 10.30 in Airfield as usual and to go from there to St.Brigids. This means that we can car share or anyone who doesn't know the way can follow someone who does.
You are very welcome to meet us in St Brigid's! I imagine we will arrive not long after 11 - you cannot get locked out as everything will take place in the garden which is completely open access!
I missed the last GIY (I've just joined) but would love to come along to the one in Saint Brigid's Stillorgan. Could I meet you there? Stillorgan is much closer to me than Dundrum and I'll be coming by bike. At what time will you be there and how do I gain access in case I'm locked out, as I don't have contact details for the organiser... Many thanks for organising. Dervila
Sorry can’t make this one, looking forward to the next! 😊
Welcome Dervila, Ena, Orla, Deirdre, Ali, Niall, Kate, Sorcha, and Maria and everyone else who has joined in the last few weeks.
This is to let you know that the next meeting of GIY Dundrum will take place on Saturday next, April 14th in Airfield at 10.30.
At that meeting we will have a talk from Elaine Butler who is very involved in a group that aims to reduce use of plastics and she will talk about reducing use of plastics in our gardens.
We will also have our usual plant and seed swop and sharing of advice on dealing with problems in the garden.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
