What We Do
The Organic Centre is a non profit organisation set up in 1995, with the aim of providing public education, training and information about organic growing and sustainable living. The Centre is located on a 19 acre site in Rossinver, Co Leitrim, Ireland, and we have outreach centres in Co. Clare and Co. Wicklow. We run workshops on organic horticulture, gardening, green building, alternative energy, and artisan food production, and we offer a year long organic horticulture training programme .
The Centre is a recognised eco-tourism destination. Our facilities include:
Demonstration gardens & polytunnels
An orchard & soft fruit area with heritage varieties
A café using seasonal organic produce from our gardens
An eco-shop selling garden tools, books, seasonal vegetables, etc.
Projects run by the Centre include:
- Community Food Project– establishing organic community gardens where local people learn to grow and cook their own organic food.
- Peace & Environment Project – a cross-border schools programme and cross-community project promoting peace through gardening together.
We enjoy the support of a wide network of friends. Our Friends Membership Scheme offers a range of benefits including free entry to our gardens and open days, gardening advice, and discount on shop & seed sales, and training courses.
