Garden gathering grows up after 5 years

After nearly a year of ‘Gatherings’ up, down, and around the country, it’s hard to believe the original Gathering is only a week away.

This will be the fifth annual GIY Ireland Gathering and, as appropriately described last year by Mark Diacono of the infamous River Cottage, it is something akin to a ‘Glastonbury for Growers’.

This two-day festival, part of the Waterford Harvest Festival, makes learning about every aspect of home-grown food accessible and includes talks, debates, demos, workshops, Q&A sessions, and more. Whether a novice, expert, or just exploring where your food comes from, this is the place to get inspired and informed.
