Excerpt:
Bill’s introduction to the gardens came about when he came looking for an allotment for a friend. “I didn’t want one”, he admits. Now he’s at the gardens every day. “I never grew anything in my life until I came here”, he adds.
Then why do it? “Apart from being a challenge” Bill says, “I just thought it was a waste (the empty field) and I could see what it could be.”
Bill, and the rest of the committee’s vision has certainly paid off. “We had 45 children the other day between five and seven years of age, and that was something to behold”, he reveals. “I’d say that was the best day we had here, better than the opening day, better than anything else. They all went home happy and they wanted to know could they bring their mammies.”
Christina says that her interest in the gardens are because, “I’ve always been interested in organic food, growing organically. I’m a local girl, I’m from Muirhevnamor, it’s on my doorstep. I always knew that there was allotments here, I always used to drive past it. I think organic food is the way to go.”
The gardens however, are more than just a collection of allotments for individuals. Kevin points out. “There’s two people behind you who have met for the first time.” He points to an allotment holder and another who is going to be an allotment holder. Christina has introduced them to each other and now they’re talking there together for the first time.”
“It’s a huge social gathering”, Pam reveals.
