Urban Food Gardening: Natural Cosmetics, and Summer Camp

Urban Food Gardening

I'm an urban farmer - have been for the past 13 years. I am not self sufficient, but I grow a lot of my own veg out the back in a fairly tiny space. This blog is the story of how I do it, what grows, and how I use it. Urban farming/city gardening is great for lost of reasons - not least the delicious and healthy food that you can produce for yourself & your friends & neighbours. If only a few people reading this blog are inspired to trade flowers or grass for vegetables, then I'll be happy.

Natural Cosmetics, and Summer Camp

My soapmaking course participants prevailed upon me to teach a Natural Cosmetics course, so I'm planning to run it as an evening course, on June 14th.

It will be at Mullingar Educate Together from 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Cost is €35.

Participants will learn how to make Bath bombs and other bath products, Massage oils, Body creams, Exfoliants, and will make origami boxes to package them in. All materials will be provided, including a wide variety of essentials oils to scent the products. You will go home with clear recipes so you can make them on your own, or with your friends and family.

I'm also getting ready for a Science and Nature Summer camp for 7-12 year olds - at the same location. Working on some interesting projects - getting inspiration from this site - the school gym would be an excellent location for walkalong glider flying, and learning about what keeps airplanes in the air....
