Featured Event

Leitrim Community Garden Week and Launch of Leitrim Community Garden Network.

Leitrim is set to celebrate community, nature, and sustainability with the launch of the Leitrim Community Garden Network during Leitrim Community Garden Week (2nd to 6th July).

The week of events is co-ordinated and funded by Leitrim Development Company’s Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), who have compiled a detailed map of community gardens across County Leitrim.

The map features over 18 vibrant gardens, showcasing the rich diversity and dedication of community groups throughout Leitrim. These gardens foster community participation and engagement, bringing together men’s and women’s groups, residents’ associations, TidyTowns groups, and more.

Leitrim Development Company is proud to support and highlight the fantastic work these groups do in terms of community development, skill sharing, and environmental sustainability. The week-long event kicks off on Tuesday, 2nd July, at the Breffni Family Resource Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon and continues with various activities in community gardens across County Leitrim.

Events and workshops are taking place in Carrick, Ballinamore, Drumshanbo, Killenummery, Kiltyclogher, and Mohill (See full programme). All events are free and open to the public – with music, refreshments, gardening skills workshops, and seed planting workshops for kids.

Be sure to come along to your local community garden event, and check out our map of community gardens to find, join, or visit a community garden near you.
