This is Kinsale's community garden. Established in front of a row of former barracks a few years ago, it has been managed by a rotating group of energized folks. Locals from the neighborhood and around Kinsale congregate every Sunday to dig, plant, mulch, weed, and socialize. Today there is a soup and planning session. The garden is affiliated with Kinsale's Transition Town.
Several weeks back, a few of us got together to haul straw and manure to the garden. Our friend, classmate, and local farmer-accountant, Michael Barry supplied the the raw materials, hydraulic power, and 1/3 of the muscle to get the stuff across town.
