What You'll Learn

-Planning and preparing the site – for a healthy, productive fruit garden
-Selecting what varieties to grow in our Irish conditions
-Organic Techniques

By the end of the day, you will leave with the confidence to plan, plant, and maintain your own organic fruit garden, ensuring healthy and abundant harvests.
What's Included

You'll also enjoy a delicious plot-to-plate mezze lunch overlooking the HQ Gardens (or in the garden if weather permits) and get the chance to meet and learn from fellow GIYers. There will be coffee, tea and scones on arrival and a seasonal cordial for an afternoon pick-me-up.
