There were some great talks – including one on the Bantry Community Supported Agriculture Project, an inspiring talk from Peter Ward, information on bees and a workshop on how to garden without hurting your back.

There were also displays of local apples (picture of apple juicer to the right) and lots of delicious food stalls.

Madeline of Brown Envelope seeds has a good write-up and wonders if An tIonad Glas might get involved in some research to test the effectivemeness of Alaska Giant compost tea. Watch this space and we’ll see what we can do with our student projects next year!
