Each year we hold an in-person gathering of community growers on the island of Ireland. This event is also the yearly launch of National Allotments and Community Gardens Week, which is a week long celebration of community growing projects throughout Ireland.

This year we are delighted to announce that our friends in Airfield, Dundrum, Dublin 14 are kindly hosting our Autumn Gathering of Community Growers on Saturday, 12th October 2024!

The gathering will include the launch of National Allotments and Community Gardens Week, seed sharing, tours of gardens, discussions with community growers and more!

This event is always a highlight of the community growing calendar for growers from all over. Last year over 50 community growers attended the event in Cork City, which was launched by then Lord Mayor of Cork, Kieran McCarthy.

Booking details will be finalised over the coming weeks and will be available on a first come, first served basis.

For more details on this, or if you would like to register your activity for National Allotments and Community Gardens Week, please email info@cgireland.org
