This LEAF literacy and food education programme is a partnership between GIY (Grow it Yourself), Wexford Libraries and Libraries Ireland.
To take part you are invited to register with the LEAF programme at www.libraryleaf.ie and call to your local library at Wexford, New Ross, Gorey, Enniscorthy or Bunclody to collect your free seed packet of peas, beans and spinach.
This campaign supports you to grow your own food, and gives you resources and online supports to do so. This is an example of another timely initiative from your local library.
We encourage as many people as possible to register to take part, to pick up your packet of seeds, sow them and watch nature happen.
For more information and to register to take part, call to your local library and visit the LEAF Programme - Library LEAF website.
LEAF is funded under the Community Climate Action Programme (CCAP Strand 2) is a pilot programme with GIY (Grow it Yourself Waterford). It is supported by Libraries Ireland and Government of Ireland.
