Peter Donegan, green fingers gone wild

For anyone who doesn’t already know, Peter Donegan is blogger who is obsessed with everything green. I have a lot of time for Peter and his greener events.

I did horticulture in school but always felt like I only had a summary view of the world of horticulture. After a lengthy phone conversation and a number of tweets Peter decided to try his hand at a DIY gardening course. I thought it was a wonderful Idea and signed myself and my other half Louise up straight away.

Peter has one space left available for March 20th. So make sure to drop him a line if your interested.

“Basically: this is for the [wo]man, parent, adult, child who wants to do a bit of green living but not farming. Enough to have summer salads, fresh herbs, maybe even some fruit – at the same time logic enough that you’ll watch footie/ daytime tv and go out rather than hug trees. You’d like a bit of green, you need a place to start but without getting bamboozled – and let it grow from here….”

Peter’s gardening course:

  • A one day crash course from 9.30am – 3.30pm
  • The first day/ date is Saturday March 20th
  • Cost of materials only to be covered set at €60 per person
  • You take home what you make on the day
  • Lunch will be included
  • To take place in Ballyboughal [it's near Swords/ North Dublin ;) ]
  • Numbers will be limited to a maximum 8 people only

I have room for three people in my car, if anyone needs a lift from Dublin city center.

Peter Donegan’s  garden group is also planning a boat trip to Ireland’s eye. They are meeting outside The Bloody Stream pub, Howth, Co. Dublin on April 18th, Sunday at 11.30 am. Cost For Boat Trip from Island Ferries is €15 return.  For more details on the boating trip check out Peter’s blog post.
