📍 Willow and Lore heritage farm, 15A Craigdunloof Rd, Ballymena BT43 6RQ, Co. Antrim
🎟 €30 general admission (€20 Fibreshed Ireland members)
✨ Ticket includes lunch and a pack of open-pollinated flax seeds to get you started!

Join expert seed saver Richie Walsh from Black River Seeds in a half-day hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to effectively grow flax for seed. If you’re planning on growing flax for fibre this season, you also need to take into account where you’re going to get your seeds from. By using open-pollinated (non copyrighted) seeds and dedicating a patch exclusively for seed saving, you’ll ensure your own supply of seeds for future growing seasons.

This subsidised workshop is made possible with support from the Shared Island Civic Society Fund, managed by the Government of Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

There are no refunds on issued tickets.
