Centre for Training, Information and Demonstration of Organic Gardening, Food Growing and Organic Farming

The Organic Centre was established in 1995 as a non profit making company with the aim of providing training, information and demonstrations of organic gardening, growing and farming.

The Centre is located on a site of 19 acres in Rossinver in the unspoilt countryside of North Leitrim. Each year since 1995 has seen significant developments at the Centre and at present we provide:

• Demonstration gardens and growing tunnels illustrating organic methods of food production.
• A wide range of training courses geared at all levels from the interested amateur gardener to the professional grower.
• Information and advice for commercial growers and farmers.
• A Wetland sewage disposal system.
• Display gardens for visitors - including a children's garden, a taste garden, a heritage garden, an unusual vegetables and salads garden, and a display of composting techniques.
• A willow sculpture area.
• An orchard and soft fruit area.
• Display of composting techniques.
• A cafe which is open at weekends during the Summer.
• A shop stocking herbs, transplants, organic compost etc Check out their new Seed catalogue
• The new visitor and training centre at the Organic Centre has a large conference room capable of subdivision into two smaller rooms This looks out into our demonstration gardens and is ideally suited to cater for groups of different sizes.
• The centre's resident Small Farms Development Worker can advise and assist farmers in all matters of conversion to organic methods.

The Organic Centre hosts an award winning FAS training scheme aimed at those interested in a career in organic horticulture. The latest phase of the centre's exciting ongoing development programme has seen the opening of a new purpose built training centre last year. This houses an organic café, a shop, teaching rooms, an information centre and offices. The new centre is constructed on ecological principles and also serves as a practical example of environmentally sound building design.
