Interested in growing your own food?
Next Meeting of GIY (Grow It Yourself) Monaghan on Wednesday 4th May 2011 at 7.30pm sharp at The Market House, Monaghan. There'll be a POD discussion on peas starting promptly at 7.30pm and announcements. For all those food growing questions you've been afraid to ask, this month there'll be a 'panel' of experienced gardeners to answer them for you.This will be followed by a Q & A session and the May vegetable calendar.



In order to cover our running costs we would like to ask for a voluntary contribution of €2 per person. This money will only be used for the running of GIY and is governed by Revenue charity rules.

GIY networks aim to take the ''self'' out of ''self-sufficiency'' by getting back-garden growers together on a regular basis to talk, learn from each other and exchange tips, produce and war-stories!  The meetings are open to people interested in food growing at all levels, i.e. from growing a few herbs on the balcony to complete self-sufficiency, from beginners to old hands.
Hundreds of people are involved in existing GIY groups around Ireland and activities include talks on specific food-growing topics, garden visits, seed swaps, produce bartering, mentor panels and the return of the meitheal (where growers get together in one another’s gardens to carry out some growing related task).  For more information please email giymonaghan@gmail.com or see http://www.giyireland.com/events
