Colclough Walled Garden Volunteers

"No man ever died, planting an apple tree"

Their is a great history of volunteering at Tintern Abbey. Sir Vesey Colclough established the first volunteer militia in Ireland which fought the Whiteboys and was based upon the American militia, which eventually gained independence from our neighbours and went on to establish the United States of America.
Now, while our restoration goal probably lacks the global-historical impact of American independence, for the volunteers and the Colclough Walled Garden, something greater will be achieved. Positive action, creative valued work in a negative unimaginative apathetic world. Their will be no losers in this restoration, no defeated side, only endless positivity.
