The Organic Centre

The Organic Centre is Ireland’s leading educational organization dedicated to promoting organic gardening and sustainable food growing. Located in Rossinver, County Leitrim, and operating since 1995, the center offers a wide range of courses, workshops, and demonstrations for gardeners, farmers, and food enthusiasts at all levels of experience. The center’s extensive demonstration gardens showcase organic growing techniques suited to Irish conditions, including no-dig beds, polytunnel production, composting systems, and perennial food gardens. The Organic Centre provides hands-on education in vegetable growing, fruit production, seed saving, and sustainable land management, empowering participants to grow food organically. It works with schools, community groups, and the general public to promote awareness of organic gardening and its benefits for health, biodiversity, and the environment. The center also provides advisory services and reference materials for home gardeners and market gardeners seeking to adopt organic methods. Through its education and demonstration activities, The Organic Centre contributes to building a more food-literate and ecologically aware population in Ireland.
