Press Release
New Weekend Workshops at An tIonad Glas
An tIonad Glas, The Organic College in Dromcollogher, have been running very successful full-time Courses in Organic Horticulture and Sustainability since 1992. Recently there has been a lot of demand for shorter courses and workshops from people who cannot attend full-time.
In response to this demand the College are launching a series of âWeekend Workshops in Organic Gardening and Country Craftsâ.
The one-day workshops which will be held at the College in Dromcollogher will kick off on Saturday October 22nd with â Trees from Seedâ â which will include a walk to identify trees (especially native broadleaves) and collect seed and the preparation of these for planting. Who knows, it could be the start of a new woodland!
Other planned workshops for Autumn/Winter and into Spring include Willow Weaving, Compost Making, Growing Organic Vegetables & Herbs and Woodcarving among others. All workshops will be practical and âhands-onâ and will include an organic lunch.
The College also offers special Tours and Workshops for Schools, Community Groups etc.
