"We will have at least 100 communities coming together with their shovels and their spades to help plant 100 orchards in just an hour."

GIY was started by founder Michael Kelly who set up the first GIY group in Waterford in 2008.

The group is now a worldwide organisation and opened a brand new headquarters in Waterford City earlier this year.
