Food Empathy – Growing Your Own Food for a Healthy, Sustainable Future
Join Michael Kelly, founder of GIY (Grow It Yourself), for an inspiring workshop at the beautiful Kilgraney Herb Gardens. Michael explores the powerful concept of food empathy – the deep connection we form with our food when we grow it ourselves.

As global food systems become increasingly complex and our relationship with nature grows more distant, Michael makes the case for the simple yet transformative act of growing your own food. He explains that growing even a small amount of your own food can transform your understanding of health, sustainability and community. Drawing on his own journey and the success of GIY, he explains how growing your own food can lead to more mindful eating, reduced food waste and a greater appreciation for local produce.

Set in the tranquil Kilgraney Herb Gardens, which features a rich variety of culinary and medicinal plants, this talk offers practical advice and is ideal for gardeners, food lovers and anyone interested in living more sustainably.
