The community garden project at the Benwiskin Centre

 

Benwiskin Centre, Sligo

2011 was the 6th year that this project has been running at The Benwiskin Centre. For the first three years, the project was a joint venture between the Benwiskin Centre and The Organic Centre in Rossinver.  The fourth year participants were led by instruction from Martin Byrne, gardener.  In 2010 and 2011, Ciara Barrett lead the groups. 

This year's course is now complete and the next course will commence from April 2012 to October 2012  The course runs every Monday from 9.30am - 11.30am at the Benwiskin Centre.  Under instruction from Ciara Barrett, course participants will learn about propagation, harvesting, soil management, crop rotation, preservation etc. reaping the benefits of their hard work come harvest time.

You can register your interest by calling The Benwiskin Centre on 071 9176721.

Items planted by the group over the years have included marigolds, cosmos, nasturtiums and borage, through to a wide selection of vegetables – carrots, parsnips, celery, cabbage, lettuce, marrows, peas, beans, celeriac and herbs to include sage, thyme, rosemary and fennel. 

Well done to all the past gardeners who worked hard and hopefully have taken what they have learned and are now planning to grow their own vegetables!
