St. Ronan's Edible Garden
Our aim is to inspire, motivate and build confidence in adults/children of all ages and abilities to learn how to grow their own food to promote a healthy lifestyle. To encourage the Community to prevent food waste, reuse/recycle and to reduce landfill/carbon footprint. We provide sessions to show people how to grow, harvest, recycle, composting, propagating, soil preparation, solar power for growing, food preservation, seasonal planting, bugs/pest control, eco warrior info/carbon footprint and food waste recycling.
