Community
Organic Gardening has wonderful health, social and environmental
benefits to offer all of us. A few hours working with others in the
'Great Outdoors' every week amongst the plants and trees can reduce
stress, provide access to locally grown organic foods to improve
personal diet as well as presenting opportunities to become active
members of our neighborhood and the greater community of Galway.
The Ballinfoile Mór Community Organic Garden at this time of the year is, as with horticulturalist farmers across Ireland, busily preparing for the annual harvesting of food crops that will take place in a few weeks. But after the ‘wear and tear’ of a busy period since Spring and the need to expand on its facilities, assistance is also needed in improving the overall maintenance of this green resource. This includes communal painting, pond construction, path repairing, and bug hotel building.
At the end of the communal work on Saturday, there will of course be refreshments for all volunteers to enjoy together including fruit tarts made from apples collected from the garden’s own orchard.
Rendezvous: 10.30am, Saturday, August 13th.
