********IMPORTANT UPDATE*********
With a heavy heart, we are having to cancel our volunteer day this Saturday due to unforseen circumstances beyond our control. We're gutted as we had lots of wonderful 'hands on' activities and environmental learning opportunities for all those attending.....not to mention some quality free food! Our sincere apologies to those who were planning on joining us, and we hope to do it again in the near future. Please could you share this post again to let as many people as possible know. Cheers
🌿 Join Us for a Day of Green Action at Gortin Wellbeing Collective’s Permablitz! 🌿
📅 Saturday, 22nd February. All day from 10am
📍 Gortin Community Forest Garden, Owenkillew Community Grounds, Main Street, Gortin
What’s a Permablitz, you ask? It’s a fun, hands-on day where we come together to create sustainable, eco-friendly spaces while learning new skills and connecting with nature—and each other!
We're excited to announce:
✨ The talented Padraig Donovan will host a green wood workshop, from 10.30am, crafting beautiful natural gates.
✨ Dave Breslin, will be sharing his fruit tree pruning wisdom.
✨ We’ll be busy erecting a chestnut paling fence, digging a wildlife pond, planting fruit, nut, and native trees, and finishing a stretch of woven willow fencing.
Bring your gloves, a shovel, suitable clothing, and your energy—we’ll provide a hot lunch, tea/coffee on tap, and a fantastic atmosphere!
🍰 Sweet or Savoury Treats Welcome! Feel free to bring along some goodies to share (optional)
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a curious beginner, this is your chance to meet like-minded people, learn something new, and make a positive impact on the environment.
Free event, all welcome! Kids can get stuck in, or play around the site. Let’s grow, build, and connect together. See you there! 🌱
Feel free to comment/message for more info. We'll be posting further details before the event.
