A brief description of the institution’s community garden:
The University of Galway Organic Gardening Society was established in 2010 with the aim of developing a space to grow organic fruit and vegetables on campus. This is the first Organic Garden to be set up in an Irish University Campus. In 2024, a new, larger space was provided for the Organic Garden (see photo below).
Members of the society learn to grow their own fruit and vegetables in a sustainable and organic manner. They welcome members of the wider public to participate in the garden as well. The community of gardeners get the chance to meet like-minded people, enjoy the mental and physical benefits of working in an outdoor space and, of course, enjoy the vegetable-shaped benefits of their labour.
