Take a wander around our beautiful organic gardens and polytunnels situated on our peaceful and idyllic 19 acre site near Rossinver.
Entry is only €4 or €2 concessions and kids go free! Entry is also free if you live within a 50km radius of the Organic Centre or if you are a member.
As you move around the site there is plenty to delight and inspire you. Our 9 polytunnels are perhaps the best assembled example of protected cropping tunnels in the country. We have all manner of crops on display from a huge variety of different salads and tomatoes, to garlic, early potatoes, courgettes, cucumbers and pumpkins. Examples of unusual varieties abound and there will always be a friendly member of staff, volunteer, student or placement around to answer your questions or simply pause for a chat. Much of the produce is for sale in our eco shop at the Centre – so you can take your organic goodies home with you!
There are lots of examples of outdoor growing too – the Kitchen Garden illustrates the 4-bed organic rotation and our orchard includes over 50 varieties of fruit trees chosen for their suitability to the Irish climate – including apples, pears and damsons.
We would also love to see you at one of our special public event days during the year – Potato Day in spring, Garden Party in summer and Harvest Festival in the autumn.
We now also run a number of days in partnership with our thriving community garden project – including Gardeners’ Day around Easter when the first flush of vegetable transplants are available for sale.
