Burtown House and Gardens, Wednesday August 2nd 2023, 11 a.m.
Athy, Co. Kildare R14 KF63 (Exit 3 off M9 motorway)
In this talk, Colm will delve into the area of regenerative organic vegetable production and shares the most environmentally sustainable approach to growing vegetables. Learn how to reduce your inputs, cut your labour and reap the rewards while enhancing the environment. Unsurprisingly soil health is at the forefront of the talk with a particular focus on improving healthy soil which translates to healthy vegetables. Colm will also give an insight into his vegetable seed production experience and discusses the benefits of locally grown Irish seed. Drawing on over 10 years of vegetable growing experience in Airfield Estate & Lismore Castle, Colm shares a variety of recommendations for some of the tastiest vegetables he has grown. Concludes with a tour of the vegetable garden in Burtown.
The on-site Green Barn Restaurant is open from Wednesday – Sunday for lunch serving the freshest possible seasonal produce that comes straight from the kitchen gardens, polytunnels and surrounding fields. Open for dinner Friday and Saturday evening. The ethos is on combining seasonal ingredients, using flavours, textures and colours. The Green Barn’s inspiring interior spaces are rustic and contemporary, with an amazing view of the kitchen garden, with different art exhibitions, large photos from the acclaimed Vanishing Ireland books, as well as sculptures from Zimbabwe and by Irish artists. Interior artefacts and antiques sourced specifically for the Green Barn are on sale in the shop. Pre-booking is essential – Burtown House and Gardens
