So a disclaimer of sorts is required before I copy and paste in this press release write this post as I’ll be doing some gardening demonstrations at this gig. The green side can be read over on the garden blog should you wish, but it was either I wrote the post or I asked someone else put their name to it. Anyhow, back to the logic
First up, this is more than just gardens. Second, it’s free, so to speak. Third, it should be a bit of craic and lastly, I like Johnny ‘D Juggler…. and barbershops, the singing kind.
Urban Living, 12pm – 6pm, Sunday 26th June, Wolfe Tone Park, Jervis Street, Dublin
