Irresistible Outdoors at Enniscorthy Allotments
Nurture yourself through nature.
We’re thrilled to announce a brand new Therapeutic Horticulture programme coming to the allotments this spring and summer. Over 13 weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with nature, learn new skills, and find peace in the garden, all guided by the wonderful Coralie Ryan.
This is a pilot programme supported by Wexford County Council and Sláintecare Healthy Communities, and we’re really looking forward to welcoming Coralie to our community.
About the Programme

5 mins: Greeting and explaining the session
10 mins: Mindful beginning and seasonal awareness
30 mins: Activity
5 mins: Q&A arising from the activity
5 mins: Mindful closing
5 mins: Feedback and goodbyes
