Join us in the garden for our first #popup #gaeltacht where we’ll play around as Gaeilge for the craic. Loads to do, to see, people to meet and fun to share!
You will have the chance to get some lingo before the Christmas market the next day 🎄🥳🎶
We garden every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon 2 to 5 pm and new gardeners are always welcome.
We do an introduction to the garden and planting plan on the first Saturday of each month as and when needed. When it gets warmer and the garden needs more watering we’ll hopefully open up again on Thursday afternoons for gardening, and on Sundays for recreation – we’re all volunteers so it’s dependent on people’s availability.
The Muddy Craft & Crochet Circle meets in the Cottage on Friday afternoons (3-5pm) and our new Repair Cafe was launched on the last Sunday of March, 2.30 to 5.30 pm. Bicycles were fixed, clothes repaired, crockery mended the Kintsuki way and knives & garden tools sharpened! The Repair Cafe will continue on the last Sunday of every month. Next one is Sunday 30th of April (same time!).
On Sundays, from 2:30 to 5:30, join us for our Repair Café. Bring your bike, buggy, clothes, crockery and garden tools to be fixed (hopefully!). You can learn, you can share skills and you will meet a lot of people!

The idea: We throw away vast amounts of stuff – stuff which could get a new lease of life after a simple repair. Lots of people have forgotten that they can repair things themselves or they no longer know how. Repair Cafés are free meeting places where people come together to repair things together. In a local Repair Café, you’ll find tools and materials to help you make any repairs you need on clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles, crockery, appliances, toys, etc. You’ll also find expert volunteers, with repair skills in all kinds of fields. Visitors bring their broken items from home and in the Repair Café, they start making their repairs with the specialists. It’s an ongoing learning process.
Repair Cafés help people in the community whose skills may not always be valued to get involved again. It helps neighbours from different backgrounds connect with each other and allows valuable practical knowledge to be shared. Repairing things at a Repair Cafe means things are being used for longer and don’t have to be thrown away. This reduces the volume of raw materials and energy needed to make new products.

After a two year absence, we’re delighted to be able to hold our usual annual Open Day. This year it will be on Saturday 11th June from 2 to 5 pm. Expect live music, arts & crafts, Wooly Farm animals, refreshments and lots more! It’ll be a chance to see all the developments in your local community garden, enjoy some refreshments from the newly renovated cottage on site and catch up with friends and neighbours.
We’ll circulate more details as well as a poster for the Open Day shortly. In the meantime, as always, we’re looking for volunteers to help run the Cottage Cafe which is a great fund-raiser for the garden. We’re also looking for donations of sweet and savoury treats to sell. If you’d like to commit an hour of your time for the fun of working in the cafe, or would like to bake something for it, please let us know.
See some of you in the garden on the 11th June!
