Community Gardens Ireland

Today community gardens were added to Irish law for the first time. This important step follows years of discussions & presentations. More work is needed but huge thanks to @noonan_malcolm @MarcKC_Green @stevensgreen1 & all TDs/Senators for the support. cgireland.org/community-gard…

After our Gardening Essentials, we came together to celebrate our 4th Annual StreetFest 🌱 Great food, great company, and a wonderful community spirit. Thank you to everyone who joined us! @streetfeast @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Mr Denis Mccarthy the last of the market gardeners showing us a plant stick around 100 yrs old today, we love hearing all the stories about Togher and surrounding areas from him. His Dunbar Rover potatoes are flying up, we can't wait to try them. Back on Saturday at 10

We were so delighted to welcome members of Cork Queer Nature Collective yesterday for a fantastic meitheal in the garden. Their energy, care, and willingness to get stuck into every task made a huge difference, and so much great work was achieved together.A heartfelt thank you.

We’ve started installing our Gridmat pathways around our community garden to improve accessibility for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility 🌿 Thanks so much our our Community Warden Arthur for his trojan work today, and to Denis on his digger.

Many hands working together on Saturday, we planted in Oliver’s & Stella's tomato's, and started a willow fence which was so much fun, & shared a delicious lunch. Here’s to all the small moments that make this place special.

Another glorious day to spend in the community garden, old friends new friends and our newest and youngest gardener Elia 🥰 back again on Wednesday from 10am @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Togher Community Market Garden is very grateful for the continued support of the Bons Secours Hospital. We are delighted to be working alongside the hospital’s Environment Group as part of our shared commitment to sustainability and caring for our local environment. 1 of 2

A group representing allotment growers has called for a significant increase in the number of plots nationwide, saying some existing facilities are reporting waiting times of over ten years rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

Got a few job done in the garden today in between the showers. Everything is growing so fast, but we are waiting for the last of the frost to plant out, wishing for the sunshine ☀️☀️☀️ back again on Saturday 🌱🌱 @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Cork, you beauty! 🌞 ​We had a productive, sun-drenched session in the garden today. From weeding to watering, we got through a mountain of work while soaking up those rare rays. The garden is well and truly waking up for the season. @CommunityGrdns @greenspacescork

Our beautiful community garden bursting to come alive, again lots of seeds sowed, connections made, songs sang, thanks to Deirdre Martin 😊 Stella's tomato's are flying up, thanks to the wonderful Boska, see you all on Saturday @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Another beautiful Saturday in Togher Community Garden, a meitheal in the truest sense, hands working side by side, not out of obligation but out of shared care and quiet joy. Laughter heard throughout the beds like birdsong, we are blessed. @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Cork weather today, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and back to spring again before Lunch 🌦️😂 The garden didn’t know whether to photosynthesise or build an ark 🌱🚣‍♂️ 🤭 we harvested some beautiful candy beetroot, planted lots more seed and filled the beds with new soil.

Thanks to Denis Mccarthy, Togher Market Gardener who supplied us with our seed potatoes, Dunbar Rovers and Sharp Express from his own garden. Proper Togher poppy's bai 🤪 Megan cleared the algae from the pond,our trees are already starting to produce fruits in the polytunnel 🤯

Great day today for The Community Garden,as our well has been started, this is an absolute lifeline for us, the last 2 summers we have had to hand water as our rain water system kept leaving us down. We had another visit from a group of Italian students and more seeds planted🌱

Another lovely Saturday in our Community Garden 🌱 Seeds are going in, and the garden is slowly coming back to life after the winter. There’s something special about spending a few hours outdoors together,digging, planting, chatting, and sharing a few laughs along the way.

Today we had a visit from a group of students from Italy who are learning about sustainability and community projects. It was a great opportunity to share ideas, explore the garden together, and talk about how small local actions can make a big difference for our environment 🌱

Another Joyful day in our community garden 💛 @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns @corkcitycouncil

Lots more oaks planted up today, a huge thanks to the @corkcitycouncil parks staff for clearing our paths today and edging around the whole garden. @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns
