101-year-old apple grower among participants as Galway prepares to be European capital of culture

Nellie Browne may not only be one of the west of Ireland’s oldest apple growers, but she may also be one of the wisest participants in Galway 2020, the city’s European capital of culture.

Mrs Browne, who marked her 101st birthday last weekend, is celebrating the art of apples as part of a community project in her neighbourhood of Salthill.
