Tóg go Bog é, meaning ‘Take it Easy’ in Irish, is a celebration of nature and its many benefits.
The garden, which is designed by the Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme in Cabra Community College, is inspired by the Wicklow landscape. While beautiful, the heather uplands represent man’s activities, created through the removal of forest to provide timber or grazing land. The message is that a landscape can be altered slowly and imperceptibly to a point of no return by human activities, emphasising our continued and often negative impact on the environment.
The garden incorporates local materials such as granite and mostly native plants, including ferns, hawthorn, mountain ash, as well as heather. Many of the plants within the garden can be used to create dyes for wools and textiles. This hints at the fictional owner of the garden who creates beautiful goods from what they find in the local environment.
Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme in Cabra Community College come from a range of backgrounds and ages. Bloom has provided the students with an exciting opportunity to test their horticulture skills and they have embraced this challenge with enthusiasm.
