Hi everyone, I grew up in a farm in Brazil and since I moved to Ireland , over 10 year ago, I"ve been trying to grow vegs and flowers in my garden; because the climate is different from Brazil, sometimes I don't have luck with my vegs, still happy though when I see some of them growing so beautiful. At moment I am looking for a way to make a compost container. Any ideas?

Hi All,

I was in Urban Plant Life (http://plantlife.ie/index.php?route=common/home) on Saturday and I found there was a little meetup happening between a group called 'Dublin City Centre GIY).

I was wondering, as a way of maybe celebrating Spring and all that goes with it in the food-growing garden, if anyone would like to have a similar meetup?

I'm suggesting a coffee in one of the many little shops that have popped up over the last few years?

Please have a think about it an post back . . .

Cheers,

Joe

St Marys Hospital offer both rehabilitation and extended care to older people in north Dublin. The Occupational Therapy Department runs a Horticultural therapy Project which offers gardening activities to residents.

The heat and sunshine has really got things going in the garden!

I wanted to share a few photos - they need updating, as I've been harvesting and trying to find space for those trifids that started out so small and delicate a month ago . . .
