Junior GIYers With Mary - Wed 30th July (Morning)

📅 Date: Wednesday 30th July
⏰ Time: 9.30am - 11.30am
📍 Location: GROW HQ, Waterford

During this 2 hour course, our youngest growers are invited to explore the amazing world of growing at home. Our resident educator Mary will introduce children and their supporting adult to the essentials of getting started with growing and each participant will leave with their very own plant and the skills to care for it at home. This course is suited to all young minds with a curiosity for growing their own food at home.

Each child will be in the care of their supporting adult throughout the course.​

Each child will leave with a potted plant to take home.​

There will be time for a snack break – please bring your own snacks and water bottles or feel free to purchase at the cafe.

Mary has been a keen grower since she unearthed her first crop of potatoes at 5 years old. From a mountain of spuds grown on her family farm in Australia, she has continued to grow edibles the world over, in beds, in pots, on balconies, in allotments and now again in her backyard. As an educator, she has spent the last 16 years teaching children in classrooms and gardens across the world, sprouting growing enthusiasm in Australia and Switzerland. Mary is excited to be a member of the team at GIY, where combining both her passions for growing and learning about growing gives her an abundance of hope for the future of our global food systems.

Please arrive 10 minutes before the course starts and come dressed appropriately to be outdoors in the garden: sturdy footwear, rain jackets, suncream, etc.
