GIY Dundrum will meet in Airfield House on Saturday morning at 10.30. If you ask at the ticket desk you will be directed to our meeting room (we don't have our usual room this month). As this is the season when many people are still harvesting fruit and vegetables from their gardens we will focus on cooking, preserving, and storing. Patsy will talk about making sourdough bread, and Eilis will talk about making apple jelly (and will bring along some for you to try). We would be delighted if anyone else has recipes or tips to share with the group.
The next GIY Dundrum meeting is on Saturday October 8th when we will visit the Goatstown allotments, we visited several years ago and it was a really great experience.
We will meet in the car park of the Goat Grill at 10.30 and walk from there to the allotments (just a short stroll away) and once we have had a tour of the allotments we can have coffee together in the pub. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and we look forward to seeing you then.
You can email [email protected] if you have any questions.
Eilis, Rosa, Violet and Patsy
GIY Dundrum will be meeting in Airfield House at 10.30 on Saturday September 10th. We are delighted that our own committee member Patsy Grogan will be giving a talk on bee keeping. Patsy is a very experienced bee keeper and has a wealth of knowledge on the topic, so this talk is well worth attending, even if you don't plan to get your own hive!
We will meet at the main entrance just before 10.30 - if you arrive late please just ask at the ticket desk for the venue.
We are also looking for new members for the organising committee so please let us know if you would be interested in joining us. The time commitment is small as we only meet once a month and it would be great to get some fresh ideas from new committee members.
GIY Dundrum will be meeting in Airfield House at 10.30 on Saturday June 11th (apologies for the short notice). We will meet at the main entrance just before 10.30 and then all go in together. This month we will be having a plant swop, so if you have any spare seedlings or seeks please bring them along. If you would like to share images of your veg plot then please send them to [email protected] before 9 on Saturday morning. Pictures can be a good way to illustrate problems (or successes) in your garden!
See you tomorrow! New members particularly welcome!
