Description
Thinking about setting up your own community garden or green space? Listen to this episode for great tips and advice from Head Gardener, Lee Geoghegan. What a joy this conversation was! Fingal County Council, Global Action Plan and TU Dublin have collaborated on a community garden called Glas @ TU Dublin. Following the success of the Glas Garden model in Ballymun, these three partners are bringing the concept to Dublin 15. The community garden is a place where individuals, community groups and schools can come to learn about gardening and sustainability, or to simply enjoy being out in the Irish weather, growing healthy food. The garden is a space where people get to meet and share, discover new skills and reconnect with nature. The space is for Individual volunteering: for members of the community who are interested in social horticulture; Nature Explorer: an inclusive programme of nature connection activities for members of the community, particularly those who have little or no access to green spaces; Youth Gardening: horticulture activities for young people; Green Living workshops: workshops on composting, growing vegetables and waste reduction; Businesses can volunteer their time to help shape the garden.
