Sonairte’s walled garden sits on the south facing bank of the Nanny River estuary in Co Meath.
Dating back to the mid 1800âs the 1.8 acre garden underwent extensive renovations in the 1990âs.
Since then the garden has become one of the few working/educational gardens with public access in Ireland.
The garden operates under strict organic principles and is certified by Irish Organic Association to produce organic fruit, vegetables, plant material and flowers.
As an educational garden we provide an invaluable resource for visiting primary, secondary and TY students, some of whom elect to spend time working in the garden to gain work experience as part of their education.
Our cropping system runs on a 4 year rotational basis ensuring no one vegetable crop is grown in the same piece of ground for at least 4 years. This fundamental rule of organic production helps to combat pest and disease build up, depletion of nutrients in the soil and soil degradation.
