One selfish thing - Practical Garden Skills
[93] Do 27 selfish things and blog about it [1/27]
Number 93 on my list is to do 27 selfish things. I guess that breaks down into one selfish thing every two months or so for the 101 days, I can’t remember exactly where the number came from. Me, I don’t think that being selfish needs to adversely affect those around you, or anyone indeed. In fact, I want to do good things with an ulterior motive that benefits myself.
So, now I am going to trick you into reading about this really neat looking L33t Practical Garden Skillz course that is run for a week every Summer by TCD. The course consists of five mornings of cutting, composting, and all round cultivation and propagation. A rare chance to get shown by some experts how to make your garden grow. It’s a steal at €170 ( €130 for students, unemployed persons and those in receipt of a social welfare pension).
From the official website, there will be five practical sessions in the Trinity College Botanic Garden (located at Palmerston Park, Dublin 6) on weekday mornings (Monday-Friday) commencing in June/July 2009 for one week. Due to space constraints, participants are limited to a maximum of twenty-five.
You can also get a bit of other useful information on there, like phone numbers and emails. I won’t be putting them up here in fear of encouraging span entropy! So, why is this selfish? Simply put, I really really want to do this course and there just hasn’t been enough interest so far for it to go ahead.
I know far too little, and have killed off too many plants trying to learn. I love nothing more than spending time outside with wonderful flowers that I have grown or cultivated, but sadly I’m finding getting green fingered is pretty tough. Things had just started to work out, but I recently moved house, and I’m once again finding my feet in different growing conditions. Not to mention, I think it would be an opportunity to get some fantasticly summery photographs and document the week. Sounds like fun eh?
