 We are really pleased to announce a new initiative - the 'Triangle Grow & Show'! 🥕🍎🥬🥔🍓🫑🧅
Grow your own fruit and veg (in beds, pots, hanging baskets, window boxes - anywhere!) show your progress as you go, and share any surplus produce with your neighbours. This is a project for total beginners as well as those who have some experience to share - we can all learn together. The ‘Grow & Show’ will be kicking off with a collaboration with Mud Island Community Garden for a tutorial and Q&A session via Zoom on Thursday 15th April from 8 – 9 pm. Mud Island have been running a hugely successful community garden in North Strand for several years now, and have kindly agreed to share some tips and tricks with us - check out their website at www.mudisland.ie. To find out more about the Grow & Show project and/or to sign up to the Zoom Q&A session just drop an email to [email protected]  For Easter, the DTRA are raising money for St. Vincent de Paul through our 'Easter Egg Drop'.
