The Grow Project

14/05/2020

Opening on Monday 18th we need to have strict guidelines in place.
We would ask that 2 people max visit the yard together, preferably one person.
The office space is off limits, we will come outside to speak with you.
Ensure you keep the recommended 2m social distance space with staff and other customers.
Collections from the yard MUST be pre arranged and a pick up time agreed to avoid too many people at the yard together.
We are expecting to be busy so if you cannot get through on the phone please leave a message and we will call you back when we can.
Alternatively email any questions or orders you may have to [email protected] we will answer those in the evenings.
Please bear with us until we all get used to operating differently 😊

Pruning the espalier fruit trees at Woodstock Gardens and Arboretum at Inistioge, County Kilkenny. Great to see our students busy with key maintenance tasks in the estate garden at this time of year.

Grow Project students demonstrating their rose pruning skills on work placement at Mount Congreve Gardens. Great to see them benefiting from practicing on-the-job skills alongside such experienced craft gardeners at this horticultural gem here in Waterford. Don't forget to visit Mount Congreve now to see the magnificent Magnolias in full bloom! 🌸🌳

Nothing like taking in the March Magnolia displays at Mount Congreve gardens. Definitely worth a visit. Some of our students are lucky enough to be currently working in Mount Congreve on their work placements. A busy time of the year in the world of a craft estate gardener 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

Foróige, Ferrybank Youth Services needs your support.

We are looking for volunteers 18+yrs to support all our work. Would you like to make a valuable contribution to the young people (10+yrs) in your community? Can you spare a couple of hours each week? We need volunteers for our breakfast club, homework clubs, youth café, gardening group, film making group, soccer group, and well being groups.

Training is provided to all volunteers. If you think you could help with any of these groups we would love to tell you a bit more about applying to be a Volunteer with Foróige Ferrybank and how you can help. We are having two separate events where you can call in for a chat, cuppa and cake at the Ferrybank Parish Centre on Tuesday 14th January from 11am-12 noon and on Thursday 16th January evening 7-8pm. If you can’t make either of these events call Karen Rice on 086 6478637 for more information.
