A little bit about the St Luke's Community Garden:
The core principles of the garden are:
Food – grow vegetables and fruit with the seasons, organically and sharing it back to the community.
Biodiversity – re-introduce native irish trees and plants, plant a vast variety of crop and flowers to attract pollinators and bring back natural wildlife.
Sustainability – keep in mind zero-waste and circular economy, using what already exists, creating little to no waste, re-using and upcycling as much as possible.
Community – a green space and garden where community comes together to co-create a space where all are welcome.
Education – always learning, no matter what age. Inviting ourselves and subject matter experts to teach and learn about gardening, foraging, wildlife, sustainability, composting and so much more.
We are 100% non-profit and volunteer run, however we do have costs to cover, like our yearly insurance policy, bank account fees, equipment, material, compost as well as paying for refreshments and food for events and pay speakers who give educational talks at our garden or artists and performers that contribute at garden events.
We will be grateful for any donations, to help us to grow this community and garden in the heart of St. Luke's in Cork City.
