You are warmly welcome to join our garden team for an enlivening seasonal fermentation making session.

This workshop includes:

Welcome to Festina Lente Gardens - tasting of fermented Kombucha tea to refresh
Introduction to Fermentation basics: informative presentation on the history, stages of fermentation, wellbeing benefits, and methods of making
Interactive demonstration and tasting of how to make classic flower and vegetable ferments in jars - that offer immune and digestive benefits: we will demonstrate the super basic ways to make your own and together we will taste and sample some garden ready made jars of fermented leaves. We will then harvest fresh leaves from our kitchen garden beds together: for you to then prepare a take away fermentation kit in the gardens, ready to make and take home, and reap further benefits of life and longevity

All workshop materials, fermentation information and recipes, refreshments, ingredients and jars provided - your complete "take away fermentation step 1 kit"

We look forward to co-creating with you - and enjoying the benefits of making this sustainable lifestyle transition!

All activities encourage individual choice, personal development, achievement and progression and we are a registered Irish Charity.

Saol Anois is also a day service run by Festina Lente in our campus. The Saol Anois Day Service is funded by Health Service Executive and it was set up in 2005 to meet the support needs of adults with intellectual disabilities and/or dual diagnosis. It is a supportive and therapeutic service designed to meet the needs of people through individual plans. Service users have the opportunity to access a range of integrated developmental and leisure opportunities.

Our campus is situated in the grounds of what was once Old Connaught House, formerly the residence of the Plunket family. Read more on the History of Old Connaught House & Gardens and Festina Lente Foundation. Festina Lente (Latin) means Hasten Slowly and is the Plunket family motto. We adopted this as the name of our organisation in 1995 because it conveys our culture perfectly. Festina Lente was founded in 1988 by Mary Rachel Brophy; her aim was through social and economic inclusion, to support those most at risk. The result of all of the Festina Lente’s hard work is the wonderful garden and state of the art Equestrian Centre which are available to the public to enjoy whenever they want.
