Spring is springing and the plums are in blossom. Any day know the first pear trees will also start to bloom. Volunteers in the garden are working flat out this week to get everything ready for Sunday's reopening. All winter the work of the garden has continued as it does in any garden and we hope it will be looking its best so that those who come to the Farmers Market to buy can see the quality of the produce as it grows. We like to think that there is always something new for visitors to see and this spring should be no exception with a fine display of outdorr overwintered salads in a wide variety of colours and leaf shapes showing just what will grow throughout an Irish winter. There will be lots of new signs around as well, with tips on growing to make it easier to find out just what we are doing even if a member of the garden staff isn't close at hand. All of them are illustrated with photographs taken in the garden so you know it really works!
As well as pictures showing what is going on in the garden just now we show before and after photographs of what happens to kitchen waste and shredded paper in a worm bin. They are the perfect answer to identity theft!
