'Grow Your Vegetables In A Pot' Project Needs Your Help

"Grow Your Vegetables in a Pot" is an exciting partnership that brings together the Murlough Community Association and SERC. The project aims to hold 4 ‘grow your vegetables in a pot’ events in Newcastle, Co Down.  Each event will teach 30 households in the Murlough community how to plant and harvest vegetables in a pot.  The goal is to empower local people to continue an affordable, healthier and enjoyable approach to supplying a healthy diet for many years after the event.  

This initiative will:  

• Provide the local community of Murlough with knowledge and skills to continue growing their own vegetables in a pot.   
• Provide the families participating in the events with the knowledge of the importance of each vegetable on general health.     
• Provide families with a fun and healthy outdoor activity.
