2- 12 Years
Know and Grow: Teaching children about the harvest and how to recognise and grow everyday vegetables and fruits. We will take a trip around the walled garden and spot the fruit and vegetables growing there. We will explain the different growing seasons and when it is best to eat certain foods. Everyone will have the chance to plant something of their own to take home with them and help it grow.
A spooky Hallowe’en and Harvest festival in the beautiful grounds of Shankill Castle, Paulstown, County Kilkenny. The Castle dates from Norman times and features stunning landscaped grounds and extensive woodlands. Distinctive features include a magical moated garden, a fully-restored ornamental canal, spectacular specimen trees and a working Victorian walled garden. Most spooky of all, are the ruins of an early Christian Church and graveyard which gave the castle its name.
Wear strong shoes or wellington boots and bring rain coats.
For children staying for more than one workshop take a packed lunch or snack.
