The Story so far.....
The Wicklow Community Gardening Group was set up in 2006-7, in partnership with Wicklow Working Together in order to help and advise local groups wishing to set up a community garden. In the summer of 2007 the Dominican Ecology Centre in Wicklow Town leased the group space for a community garden on their organic farm.
This year the garden has thrived thanks to the great efforts made by the committee & the members. Their green fingers have been well tanned this year but the resulting produce has been worth the toil. It only demonstrates further the superior quality & taste of organically grown food. I haven't eaten so much cabbage in years, can't get enough of it! But we've only 3 heads left so it's time to get planting again.
The co-operation of the local community has been very welcome & we look forward to it continuing.
Our next initiative is to solve the water problem. In the recent dry spell the plants were thirsty & moving an adequate supply the 100 meters or so from stream to garden led to some inventive methods of water transport. And tired arms too!
