With our GIY group in the Dockland area we’d like to bring people together once a month who’d like to learn how to grow their own vegetables and exchange some knowledge and experience. We've got so many questions about growing and getting together with other growers seems like the best way to get answers.
Want to get involved?
We’re still looking for more people to join the team to help organising our meetups, especially people with some growing skills would be very much needed as the team so far has big motivation in learning to grow food but very little experience.
How to join
Anyone interested in joining the group once we kick off, please just click on join and we’ll keep you posted on upcoming events.
Where and when we meet
We’ll meet once a month in the CHQ building but we haven't set the next dates yet. Just message me if you have any questions. Looking forward to the first meeting. Hope to see you there…

Good morning, Guys!!
I found this website with the recipe of the organic fertilizer that I said yesterday, with banana peels, egg, and coffee. Check it out:

See you!
Hello, GIY Friends!
I've just seen this event and I thought that this might be interesting for you. We can learn with this garden and have a good time.

I made our registration to go and it would be lovely to see you there!
Really enjoyed my GIY meeting tonight, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Here's a few photos of my first attempt at growing this year.
Strawberry plant in hanging basket planted in March hopefully will fruit next summer.
Tumbling tomato plant in hanging basket - several immature tomatoes growing, might fruit within a month hopefully.
'Dwarf' tomato plants in ground -growing great, high hopes for these.
Potatoes in IKEA bag showing a purple flower so almost ready to harvest.
Parsley was easy, courgette grew well but tasteless.
Cucumber, carrots, onions, french beans, lettuce and spinach were a disaster.
Presently struggling with thyme and beetroot. See you all soon.
Awesome!
That all looks great Philip! Great to meet you to and see you at the next one! Enjoy those potatoes in the meantime 😊
I see my attempts at posting photos are as poor as my growing!
Hey everyone! Are people still okay to meet this evening? I need your advice on what to do next with my herbs and spinach 😬
Shall we meet here at Dogpatch and then maybe find a spot in the sunshine somewhere nearby?
Thank you so much see you at 6pm
Hi Philip, that would be great! I've just updated the address so we'll meet here in our office in Dogpatch Labs, you can just ask for me when you arrive, see you soon!
Hi all, would like to attend tonight. Where exactly in City Centre is the meeting? Philip.
Hi there, we are just about to start keeping hens. Any advice on best breeds that will make good pets for kids & good layers? Many thanks in advance :)
Thanks Roisin - will take a look at that article :)
Hi Karen I remember having hens growing up just the ordinary brown ones. Found them to be the friendliest. We had lots of other types too. Here's an old article that might help. Also a quick search of the internet suggested to get a golden type of breed. Apparently they are friendly. https://giy.ie/archive/kids-with-pluck.html
After our meeting last week, with a lot of inspiration, we started growing in our house!
So on Sunday, we planted some seeds and today we woke up with this amazing surprise! They are starting to germinate!!
We've planted Kale, Rocket, Basil, Coriando, Radish, and Lettuce.
Look how beautiful they are!! <3
