GIY is all about encouraging people to give food growing a try and believes that growing our own gives us a better understanding of food.
At the heart of the movement are local GIYers getting together in GIY groups or creating GIY projects in their communities to share their knowledge and develop new ideas, building awareness for a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. GIY also runs programmes to encourage food growing at a mass scale at home, and in communities, schools and workplaces. These programmes can lead people to a GIY project in your area, and vice versa.
Whether you are an expert in growing or you want to learn about growing food, why not start your own GIY project in your area?
GIY projects can be:
Every GIY project is different - the magic lies in a group of people coming together, learning, sharing and having fun.
What you can do
You can start your own GIY Group and bring people in your community together to grow their own food or you can find your nearest GIY group here. In certain locations, you can access the funding needed to get started and no matter where you are, find out all you need to know in our 5 step guide.

Hi All
Just joined up and wondering if there is any allotments in Kilkenny city?
Grand. I’d be interested in learning about the mushroom growing or; is it tricky to set up etc and can you reuse the compost for the next set of mushrooms?
I'm muddeling my way through I'm looking at doing a continuous system keep feeding keep harvesting it seems like it should be easy enough but I'll see and probably try a few methods at the moment its a raised bed filled with wood chip and straw plus some compost I'm trying to get a culture started on used coffee grounds will keep you posted probably try the log method and bucket next and yes you can reuse a few times and then is good for veg patch
Hi Chris and Stephen, yea I’d still like to organise something when all the restrictions are lifted. I’ve just about finished planting my veg garden and have just had a polytunnel put up so busy with that. I’m in Clara. Where are you ?
