GIY meeting, next Saturday, 10th August 10:30 Airfield
Hello everyone
Our next GIY meeting is on Saturday August 10th at 10.30 in Airfield.
This will be an informal meeting, given that many are on holidays. We can discuss how our gardens and vegetables are progressing in this varied ‘summer’. We also have some information to share on green manures and can discuss our experiences using these. We might finish with a stroll through the Airfield kitchen gardens.
We will meet as usual at the entrance to Airfield at 10.30.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.
With best wishes

GIY will meet next on Saturday June 8th at 10.30 in Airfield. We are delighted that Patsy Grogan will be speaking to us about bees and bee keeping. Patsy is a very experienced bee keeper and has given us very informative and engaging talks in the past about the importance of bees for our gardens and about the art of beekeeping. I am sure it is a talk we will all enjoy.
We will meet as usual at the entrance to Airfield at 10.30.
GIY Dundrum will be meeting on Saturday May 11th at 10.30 in Airfield House. This month we have planned a plant and seed swop. Please come along an join us even if you don't have anything to swop as there is always an opportunity to chat about what we are growing (or failing to grow). Looking forward to seeing you then.

GIY Dundrum will be meeting on Saturday February 10th at 10.30 in Airfield House. This month we will have a short talk from Scott Bryan from Community Roots which connects garden owners with garden-less budding growers living nearby and looking for a patch to grow their own food. It sounds like a great idea and they have a lovely website that is worth checking out. We will also be discussing our vegetable growing plans for the year and if you have an seeds to swop please bring them along. Looking forward to seeing you then.
