What is a Community Garden?

A community garden is a shared space where residents come together to grow plants, vegetables, and flowers. Community gardens transform urban land into vibrant spaces that promote food security, improve wellbeing, and strengthen neighbourhood bonds.

MFCU Community Garden Competition

Our annual garden competition invites all community gardens across our common bond in North Dublin to participate and benefit from our €5,000 investment. Every qualifying entry receives €200, and one final winner will receive an additional €1,000 to further upgrade their garden.
