          This is a two part, hands-on workshop, designed as a sequel, but participants should also gain valuable insights if booking into one or other day only.

          We will begin the day with some theory about garden design, discussing the range of vegetables that you can grow both inside and out at that time of year. Followed by an explanation of the processes of sowing and germination followed by a practical demonstration after lunch. Pat will discuss the different tools and equipment required for an efficient growing process, fertility, what and where to get it followed by a walk through the walled garden and demonstration. 

          You will go home with a starter seed pack and plenty of tips and inspiration to get you growing food this year for your table.

           

          WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

          • Those interested in starting to grow their own vegetables.
          • Those who wish to gain knowledge on sowing seeds, fertility and germination.

           

          ABOUT OUR KITCHEN GARDEN

          In 2009 we began our contemporary food journey at Killruddery. We opened a charming Tea Room in our Victorian Ornamental Dairy and at the same time we began to awaken the sleeping walled garden which had lain largely dormant since the late seventies apart from its lovely Apple Orchard and a few hidden fruit vines. Our Kitchens development has gone hand in hand with the development of our Kitchen Garden and subsequently an additional field on our Farm. In 2022 Pat joined our project and under his leadership, we grow a large percentage of the vegetables we serve to our visitors and we also supply demand in our Farm Shop. We are prolific, we do this using organic principles, our Walled Garden has never known any other way.

          ABOUT PAT KEADY

          Pat grew up surrounded and immersed in nature not knowing the meaning of the word biodiversity but piecing together the web of life bit by bit, this early involvement shaped him as a person who understands the need to protect and promote nature in everything we do. This is a major part of why Pat became a grower,a journey that brought him to Cork to study sustainable horticulture, then on to run his own market garden in Connemara and now here in Killruddery growing chemical free vegetables. He is constantly trying to improve and learn new methods to grow healthy nutritious veg on a large scale, while protecting and promoting nature.
