Have you ever thought about growing your own fresh, healthy vegetables at home? ๐ฑ If you're in the Derry/Londonderry and Strabane area, why not start 2025 with a new and rewarding habit?
The 'I Can Grow' Programme is a fantastic initiative that supports individuals and families in growing fresh, healthy produce right from their own homes.
If you are successful in your application, you will get everything you need to participate, including a raised 1m x 1m planter, plants grown from seedlings (lettuce, radish, peas, potatoes, onions, leeks, carrots) compost, and hands on training from the project horticulturist.
Take a few moments to apply for the 'I Can Grow' Programme before Tuesday 14th January. ๐ง๐ง
