Watch some of last year's highlights
On March 21st some of the deserving awardees were able to join us in GROW HQ in Waterford to celebrate. We heard first hand what food growing means to communities, from tidy towns, to schools, to cancer support centres to rehabilitation centres. We listened to each of their stories, some brought a smile, some laughter and some tears, but all were profoundly moving.
