Our website, www.christendomgardens.com, went live on Oct 12 and an advertising campaign for prospective allotmenteers was launched. We have had a steady stream of names coming in and a leaflet drop is planned for the coming weeks. We still await a response from Kilkenny County Council. The Waterford Food Producers Network is running a series of lectures for beginners on how to plan and start your kitchen garden, which is very useful for those allotmenteers who have not grown vegetables before.
There is a good mix of interested parties, beginners and experienced gardeners, in the project. We hope to start to set out the site in the coming weeks and be ready for planting in Feb/Mar (weather permitting).
