Healthy Horticulture at the Show

The NI industry-led Horticulture Forum, along with the RUAS, will have a Healthy Horticulture section as part of the 2021 show.

The display will highlight the importance of horticulture to NI farming, with members of the forum joined by representatives from Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful (KNIB) and the Rural Support Social Farming initiative.

KNIB is a local environmental charity, and at the show the charity is keen to gather the views of farmers on climate change, while Rural Support staff will showcase social farming, a service delivered by farmers across NI.

It exists to promote therapy, rehabilitation and inclusion, with horticulture featuring on all of the farms in the initiative.
