Grow A Better Future

Learn organic gardening and how sustainable gardening can help change the world 

Want to learn more about gardening? Wish you had green fingers? Or just want to improve your soil health knowledge? Join horticulturist Sharon Harvey for a practical introduction to organic gardening and discover how women farmers in Ethiopia are using the same techniques to combat climate change, improve food security and build resilient livelihoods. 

Participants will learn:

• Soil health and composting 
• Organic fertilisers 
• Sustainable growing techniques 
• Making biodegradable seed pots 

Everyone will leave with seeds, practical gardening knowledge and ideas they can immediately put into practice. 

Alongside the workshop, participants will hear how ActionAid Ireland supports women farmers through agroecology – an approach proven to improve soil health, retain water and increase food production despite changing weather patterns. 

Suitable for complete beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
