Recently, Community Gardens Ireland delivered a presentation to an Oireachtas Committee on the benefits of community growing spaces in Ireland, and the changes needed to help more communities in Ireland grow their produce.

In September Community Gardens Ireland will be meeting with Minister Peter Burke and Minister Malcolm Noonan about this. The organisation will be asking for changes so that local authorities must provide community growing spaces where there is sufficient demand as well as the doubling of allotments & community gardens by 2025.
