Vote for the Repair Café !

/in , , /by

Mud Island’s monthly Repair Cafe, which is entirely volunteer run, has been in existence since May 2023, thanks to the inspiration, leadership and coordination of Mud Island committee’s chairperson Nathalie Cazaux Crowley. We think she’s a perfect candidate for the Rediscovery Centre’s Full Circle Award. They’ve a few different awards but the Community Circular Champion (which honours people who lead or support community initiatives like sharing libraries, swap events, food waste solutions, or local repair cafés) seems a good fit. If you’d like to do the same, here’s the link! https://www.circular.ie/full-circle-awards – closing date is Friday 25th July

Emergency Meitheal and what happened in 2024?

/in , , , , , /by

The garden is always full of activities and we are grateful of all we have achieved throughout the years (see all the events posters and help we got in 2024!)

This week we are calling an Emergency Meitheal on Saturday!

We need lots of help to prepare for our annual Open Day and to catch up with lots of planting. If you could commit to an hour or so tomorrow it would really help us. Activities will include:

– Preparing beds for planting.
– Planting out our abundance of seedlings. Painting (but not the artistic kind!).
– Labelling plants & making labels.
– A bit of DIY.
– Weeding pathways.
– Watering thirsty plants and trees.
– Enjoying our fecund garden ; )

Thanks from Mud Island!
