Delighted to be part of the Beaubec excavation yesterday and exploring the old walled gardens. Lots of interesting finds that reveal a rich heritage of our historic gardens! Thanks to Ger and Matthew for the invite. @BeaubecE @TUDublin_BN #archaeologicaldig

The secret to consistent rose blooms in Autumn is dead-heading during the Summer. Our lovely Rose Garden created by the Year 1 Horticulture students. @itbdublin #Horticulture

These extraordinary cherry tomatoes (Tomato F1 Indigo Blue Berries) are generating a lot of interest on campus – the health benefits are related to its rich dark colour and very high Anthocyanin levels. They also look great in a summer salad! @itbdublin #Horticulture #superfood

Another bumper crop of delicious cucumbers, tomatoes and sweet peppers from our hard-working Year 3 Horticulture students. All grown in our polytunnels on campus. @itbdublin #horticulture
