The second year of the very successful community garden project is now completed. This was a joint venture between the Benwiskin Centre and The Organic Centre in Rossinver. To date 15 participants have taken part on a weekly basis in the digging, sowing, planting and cooking of organic vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers.
At the moment there is a lovely display of marigolds, cosmos, nasturtiums and borage. Through to a wide selection of vegetables – carrots, parsnips, celery, cabbage, lettuce, marrows, peas, beans, celeriac – while the sage, thyme, rosemary and fennel are thriving in the herb corner. The apple trees are growing well and we hope for a good supply of fruit next year.
Well done to all the gardeners and their leader Ciara Barrett. We hope the funds come through for a third year of this wonderful project.
