St. Colmans, Mayo Abbey Expands its Organic Training Service

 

The new organic garden centre at Mayo Abbey is generating great interest this autumn. The centre developed this year by Mayo Abbey Community Council is based close to the Bishop O'Healy resource centre on a one-acre plot of land belonging to the church. It comprises of raised beds, two poly-tunnels, a potting shed and tool shed.

The community council chairman said "We see huge potential around this project but it will take time to develop to its full potential. Even in this its first year, the benefits can be seen. The resource centre kitchen is now supplied daily with vegetables from our organic garden. An averaging of 120 meals per week are prepared including daily lunch for children attending the crèche and after-school and every Friday dinner is provided for the senior citizens and staff".

Looking around the garden and tunnels the variety of vegetables grown is amazing.

Sale of vegetables now commenced with a box system used where people can phone in their order to the centre.
