Grow your own - event

Your committee has been busy organising some great events for you. We are
starting the year off in February with a trip to Caroline Robinson's farm in
Templemartin (directions will be giving at the time of booking). Caroline is
well known for her passion of gardening/farming and all things organic. She
has started the farmer's market in Cork City a few years back and it has
grown steadily ever since (located currently at Emmet Place opposite the
Opera House). She is also involved in the Cork Free Choice Consumer Group
with Myrthe Allen. She gives regular talks about 'Grow your Own' and organic
farming.

Caroline has invited us to visit her at her farm on Sunday, 20th February at
2pm. She will show us how to grow our own, no matter how big or small the
space is you have. She will give tips and tricks to get us all in the mood
for starting our own kitchen garden.
_Learn how to start a garden, plan a rotation, care for the soil, make
compost, sow seeds, transplant seedlings, use tools and polytunnels etc.
This is a beginners workshop but I am sure that even the more experienced
gardeners will get some useful tips.

Price for this event is €15 for members and €20 for no-members. Tea/Coffee
and yummy homebaked goodies are included. Please email
corkcity@slowfoodireland.com to book a place for this fantastic event.
