The Gathering is a partnership between Amach Anseo/Artlink and will present an insight into, and an opportunity for the public to engage with, a breadth and wealth of local knowledge in areas of history, heritage and tradition. The Gathering brings together like minded individuals who have a story to tell in the preservation and interpretation of our natural environment and food heritage.
The event will take place at The Potting Shed, Fort Dunree, an original installation by renowned Irish artist Christine Mackey. The Potting Shed is now the centre for the activities of ‘Amach Anseo’ (Amach Anseo means ‘from here forward/out’ or ‘from now on’) whose members are developing the site to grow indigenous vegetables and plants in an entirely natural way, and to provide an educational resource for the wider community.
This enlightening and fun event, will involve demonstrations centred around organic vegetable production, water harvesting, seaweed preparation, traditional bread making and honey harvesting/bee keeping.
