The 5th Garden Group outing takes place this weekend coming Sunday May 29th.
This is just a little taster of what you can expect….
- Date: This Sunday 29th May 2011
- Where: Ballyboughal, The Slí na Sceacha/ Hedgerow Walk – Back Lane Trail
- Time: 11.45 am
Also: I wrote this post on The Slí na Sceacha yesterday. It explains what and where in much better detail.
- Details: meet outside O’Connors Pub – the only pub in the village in Ballyboughal
- Numbers: limited to 15 [can be extended if I give enough notice]
- Cost: No Cost. With thanks to Hedgerow Society Secretary Ann Lynch
- Other: I recommend you read the garden group guide. And then read on…. Also Ann Lynch will be speaking about this outing and the history of the Hedgerow Society on The SodShow this Friday – 3pm – 103.2 Dublin City Fm 😉 Below is the route I took on Sunday.
New To The Garden Group:
Recommended reading of previous outings include

Please Note:
As always, if you are thinking of coming along the rules basic principles of logic courtesies as always apply. They are of course very simple.
- If your name is not on the list [left via comment] – you can’t go. No offence. That said…
- If you need to drop out – that’s fine but please do so as soon as is possible rather than simply not turn up at all – you not showing on the day may just stop someone else from going. This isn’t to sound in anyway rude it’s very simply because….
- I don’t get paid nor receive any gratuities for this.
- If numbers are going over put your name down on the waiting list and give me a call. We’ll fix something for you. Because…
- The quota is most likely not decided by me. But then this isn’t the national concert hall.
- Do enjoy yourself
