Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of communications these past few months but the winter is also a time for reflection and looking back at the past growing season. It was busy year an we made lots of new acquaintances and friends.
We're back in the saddle when the clocks go back end March but one of us is always around over weekends Saturday and Sunday depending on the weather so feel free to drop in!
We will be running our popular outdoor workshops again with Mary Walsh and have a herbal nutrition event with Vivienne Cambell in June (date TBC); we'll also have our annual apple juicing event late September or early October.
Every Saturday at 2pm and every Tuesday & Wednesday at 6.30pm. Our garden is open 24/7, but please bear in mind that it is run by volunteers who may not be present when you drop by.
