The Community Gardens Ireland Big Fat Survey 2025

Take part in the new CGI Big Fat Survey 2025-2026.

This survey has two aims: 

1. A healthcheck: how is community growing in Ireland at the end of 2025?

2. Practical Garden Wisdom: who are the best garden suppliers? What designs have worked?

All individual responders are anonymous unless otherwise agreed. Let’s Grow Together!

Results of National Survey 2021

We received a great response from our recent community garden survey that closed in March 2021. It was presented by Donal McCormack at the Spring Gathering and AGM on Saturday, 15th March 2021.

We have gathered information about availability of sites, how long the gardens have been in existence, whether they are zoned, who ones them, sources of funding and the main issues, along with other questions and feedback.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to create a snapshot that we can now share with policy makers and each other.
