Provision of Community Growing Spaces in Ireland: Community Gardens Ireland

Mr. D?nal McCormack:

The size of plots vary Each garden and area has its own use case. The ones we have in Blessington are 20 sq. m each, which is small, but it is a nice place to start off with. Fingal has between 50 to 250 sq. m and South Dublin County Council is the same. It depends on the amount of land is available. Some gardeners prefer to start off in a small plot and then once they have the knowledge built up over a certain number of years, they might expand to a larger plot for allotments. It varies down to the site, down to the people and down to the knowledge and skill set as well.
