Free growing project for families (from GIY)

Micheal GIY

Would you like to grow some more of your own food but don't know where to start?
Would you like your children to be more tuned in to where their food comes from?
Would you like to have some family fun and grow some food along the way?
Would you like us to help?

At GIY, we want families all around Ireland to join us in this free programme to get families growing. Each month, for 6 months, we will send you an email with the latest project. Each project will be;

• low cost
• straightforward
• productive (you get some tasty food at the end!)
• involving the whole family

You can even take part if you don't have a garden as all projects can be grown in containers!

To sign up, click on the following link which will bring you to the signup form - http://eepurl.com/w4k25or visit the website at www.giyireland.com/giynation for more details.

Here's what GIY Patron Ella McSweeney has to say about it - 'Sow it, Grow it, Eat it: three easy steps that will save your money, your time and your health! I'm thrilled to be part of Operation GIY Nation. Healthy, affordable fresh fruit and vegetables should be available to everyone and this is exactly what Operation GIY Nation is about: helping Ireland grow."

If you are already a seasoned grower, you might pass this on to a friend, neighbour or workmate who you think might be interested. Any questions, just post them here and I will get back to you.

The first project for Operation GIY Nation will be sent out in the next few days. The April project is to grow cress, which the kids will love as they can see the progress each day.

Thanks again Micheal.
We got our pack today for the brownies and they are delighted.
Lovely stuff, Ive passed this on to the school as well
Please feed back what a great idea this was

That was the Sow & Grow pack that you received - a different project which we have running at the same time just to really mix people up!!!

Glad that you got your pack as the project has now been over-subscribed due to high demand. I got my pack today as well which I will be doing with our beavers here in Foxford and I am really looking forward to it.
