We are stewards of 16.5 acres in North West Roscommon. The lands and buildings are being developed to permaculture designs and the 10,000 native woodland trees are the core of a Forest Garden. We do not use chemical sprays and rely instead on manual weed suppressing. We are in a remote and peaceful location. The air is clean and sweet. We live in harmony with nature and seek to comprehend and cooperate with the land and all around us. We are heading towards sustainability, self sufficiency, off grid living as we practice the principals of the Celtic Druid Tradition |

We need your help.
The 'no chemical' method means we simply hold the top of the tree and fold weeds away from the young trees by the careful use of the boot, giving breathing space for the young tree spirit to grow. It's quite a relaxing and enjoyable process, you develop a rhythm working your way through the young forest spiraling around the trees as you help to give them the space they need to grow. If you can't join us but still want to help us with this project you can use the donate button at the end of this blog to help in a different and much need way. Your donations will buy stakes for trees, protective gloves for volunteers and other items that make the job safer and easier for all (including the trees :)

Volunteering with us is open to all subscribed members Membership Subscription here. We provide our Volunteers with the best local organic food and holy water and provide accommodation in our 4 bed dormitory for each night and in our medieval tent village during the warm season. If you join us just for one day, start at 10am and end around 4pm we will give you a full midday meal - there is no contribution required. |

However, if you prefer to stay over night and then lend a hand on the tree farm we will give you a bed, b/fast, lunch and dinner and a contribution of E10 per person per day is appreciated. No one will be asked to do any work that they are not able for or uncomfortable with - you are expected to enjoy working at the Temple! More FAQ on volunteering with us here
