Growing Communities

Interested in growing your own food?

First Meeting of GIY Blanchardstown

GIY (Grow it Yourself) Ireland is a new not-for-profit initiative that is literally sweeping the nation.  It aims to get people interested in growing their own food and provide them with the practical skills they need to do so successfully.  The organisation gets growers together (in the community and online) on a regular basis to talk, learn from each other and exchange tips, produce and war stories. GIY activities include monthly meetings, talks and demos; garden visits, seed and seedling swaps; produce bartering, mentor panels and grower’s meitheals.
