Hands in the Soil: Community Growing, Learning & Craic
This first gathering will be a relaxed mix of hands-on garden work, shared learning, and good conversation. It’s about getting together in a real space, doing something practical, and seeing what ideas and connections might grow from there.
On the day, we’ll:

• Get our hands dirty with some light garden work and soil prep
• Do some seed sowing and talk about what grows well locally
• Make kombucha together and chat about fermentation, food, and simple home practices
• Share knowledge, questions, and experiences around growing food
• Enjoy some fellowship, chats, and a bit of craic along the way.Alongside the practical side, we’ll also have an open, informal discussion about a bigger idea:
• The possibility of small community “park farms” or gardens in underused green spaces around Dublin
• What that might look like, what’s realistic, and whether others feel drawn to exploring it further

There’s no pressure, no expertise required, and no expectation beyond showing up with curiosity and a willingness to pitch in. Whether you’re experienced with gardening or completely new, you’re very welcome.
Bring clothes you don’t mind getting muddy, and if you have them, gloves. Everything else will be very low-key.
This is just a first step — a chance to meet, work, talk, and see if there’s a shared appetite to keep growing something together.
