Mid and
East Antrim Borough Council’s Allotment Services has just concluded a series of
free allotment workshop sessions.
Training
was held at Eden Allotment Gardens, Carrickfergus and Greenisland Allotment
Gardens, each Saturday for three weeks in June.The
workshops covered basic skills such as preparing and maintaining a plot, sowing
from seed and plug, composting and organic fertilizers.
One of
those who attended at Greenisland Allotment Gardens, Lisa Haggan, said: “The training was interesting and
informative; I was able to learn some great planting and allotment management
techniques. A lovely mix of gardeners attended and personal coaching was
provided for the less green fingered among us - a very inspiring training
programme.”
The
project proved so popular that the Council is planning to hold more throughout
the year. Allotment holders notified when exact dates and times are confirmed.
There are still some plots available at both Eden and
Greenisland Allotment Gardens. Visit the Council website to complete an application
