People and Nature' - the Galway County Biodiversity Project in association with RAPID, Galway Rural Development, Tuam Community and Enterprise Office and Parkmore Residents Association are looking for interested people to take part in a Community Organic Garden Project in Parkmore Estate in Tuam.

The community garden will be developed over the coming months with the help of organic gardener Mr Jim Cronin. Jim will meet participants on site once a week and provide expert advice and assistance on soil care, composting, planting and growing organic vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Through hands on experience in the community garden, participants will gain the knowledge and skills to set up and maintain a home garden and produce their own organic vegetables.

The project welcomes participants from Parkmore Estate and the whole Tuam community. This promises to be an enjoyable and practical way to learn about organic gardening in a relaxed and friendly environment.
