Hiya, there's an allotment scheme starting in Cork city, apparently the allotments will be ready for next year (fingers crossed). Ring up the county council to put your name down if you're interested. In the meantime check out
www.corkfoodweb.ning.com , its a new social networking site with an allotment group and other groups such as 'growing your own veg' 'forgaging and wild food' etc. where you can meet like minded people possibly in your area, and discuss issues surrounding your area of personal interest with regard to organic food and herb growing. Enjoy! Tracy
