Featured Project
Magilligan Tree Nursery
Magilligan Tree Nursery helps the community through prison rehabilitation, community and environmental benefits.
Since its launch in 2022, the team have insisted on the ecologically responsible growth and distribution of UK and Ireland-sourced trees. This supports the resilience of native trees by reducing the risk of imported trees bringing disease into the local population.

What a fantastic way to celebrate a year of learning, growing and friendship!
Pupils from Bushmills Primary School and Nursery Unit and Gaelscoil an Chaistil, Gaelic-medium nursery and primary school were at Broughgammon Farm this morning for a special picnic to mark the completion of the Sow Grow Eat project.
As part of the celebration, the children enjoyed a guided tour of the farm, where they helped feed the hens, pigs and chicks, and explored the vegetable patch while learning about the food growing there. They also took part in a special baking session with Dara from Ursa Minor Bakehouse, allowing them to create and enjoy delicious bread.
Over the past year, the children have explored farming, food production, biodiversity and sustainability through hands-on activities, from planting and harvesting to cooking and caring for the environment.
Sow, Grow, Eat is part of the Building Peaceful and Thriving Communities: Nature and Environment Programme delivered by Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust on behalf of @Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council. This project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
A huge thank you to Broughgammon Farm, Becky Cole, the schools, pupils and everyone who helped make the project such a success. We are incredibly proud of all that the children have achieved!
Take a look at some highlights from the celebration and the many memories made throughout the project.
