Celebrating the harvest with my local community in Old Leighlin.
Here’s a quick snap of the Greenside Up display. I was situated next to the Leighlin Community Gardeners where we planted bulbs and seeds in paper pots with the village children. Below is a snapshot of songs and crafts happening around me.
