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.

There won't be a meeting of GIY Dundrum in Airfield this Saturday (April 13th) as we are visiting a member's garden. However, we hope to see you in Airfield on May 11th
Hello everyone
GIY will meet next on Saturday March 9th at 10.30 in Airfield. We are delighted that Patrick Hunt will be speaking to the group on the topic of 'Gardening for Biodiversity'. Patrick is a very lively and engaging speaker and he brings great enthusiasm and knowledge to all his talks. You can following him on Instagram @biodiversity_and_gardening or find his website: https://www.patrickhuntgardening.com/
We will meet as usual at the entrance to Airfield at 10.30. Patrick is a professional speaker so we are paying him for the talk and so we would be grateful for a donation of €5-€10 towards his payment.
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.
With best wishes
Eilis, Rosa, Violet, Patricia, Patsy and Julia
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.
Happy new year to you all! Our first meeting of 2024 will be on Saturday January 13th at 10.30 in Airfield House. This will be a very informal meeting as we discuss jobs that can be done in the garden in January and discuss our plans for our gardens for the year. If you have any seeds that you can spare (even if they are out of date) please bring them along for swopping.
If you like to put the GIY meetings into your diary then here are the list of meeting dates: Jan 13th, Feb 10th, March 9th, April 13th, May 11th, June 8th, July 13th, August 10th, Sept 14th, Oct 12th, Nov 9th.
That's great, I'd like to be back every now and then :)
Hi everyone - sorry for the late notice this month. Tomorrow (11th November) is the second Saturday so we will meet as usual in Airfield at 10.30. No special plans for tomorrow but we haven't had a chance to chat about our own gardens and vegetables for a while so it will be nice to have an opportunity to do that. Looking forward to seeing you then.
The next GIY Dundrum meeting will be on October 14th in Airfield at 10.30. One of the Airfield staff is going to talk to us about their community garden plans. It will also be a great opportunity for us to review our growing successes and failures (including the mystery of the disappearing fruit). If anyone has saved seeds that they can spare we can do some swapping.
Looking forward to seeing you all on October 14th - we will meet at the ticket desk just before 10.30.
