From the 7th to the 12th of July 2025, gardens
across County Leitrim will come alive with colour, creativity, and community
spirit as Leitrim Community Garden Week returns for a week-long celebration of
local growing, sustainability, and shared learning.
Co-ordinated and funded by Leitrim Development Company’s
Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) the week will
feature open days, hands-on workshops, and expert talks taking place daily in
community gardens across the county.
Each of these gardens are a part of Leitrim Community
Garden Network - a network of community gardens groups that come together to share
their experience and knowledge, and to work together to address common issues
and achieve shared goals.
An interactive map showing each community garden is available here with detailed directions and contact details of your nearest community garden.
So whether you're a seasoned grower, a curious
newcomer, or simply looking for ways to learn about gardening and connect with
your community, there’s something for everyone in this year’s programme.
Any enquiries about this years events can be made to Caillin Reynolds, Leitrim Development Company, at caillin@ldco.ie or 0719641770
On Tuesday, 2nd July 2024, the Breffni Family Resource Centre in Carrick-on-Shannon proudly hosted the launch of the Leitrim Community Garden Network and the inaugural Leitrim Community Garden Week.
This event, organised and funded by Leitrim Development Company’s Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP), aims to spotlight the incredible efforts of community garden groups across County Leitrim. It serves as a platform for these groups to share their expertise, ideas, and innovative solutions.
The launch kicked off a week-long celebration dedicated to community gardens throughout County Leitrim, recognising the tireless work of local groups in creating spaces that foster community spirit and promote sustainable living. Local community groups organised a variety of workshops, offering participants opportunities to learn and engage with their local community gardens.
Leitrim Development Company extends its heartfelt thanks to all the community garden groups and everyone who attended the events, making Community Garden Week 2024 a resounding success.
