We were delighted to welcome the local 5th and 6th class girls from Togher Girls National School. A wonderful day of learning, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors. It was great to share our garden, learn about nature together, and see such enthusiasm and curiosity.

Over the last few days, we harvested half of our garlic, planted outdoor tomatoes (endurance), did an inventory of our tools, and potted our squash. The Amaranth is flying up and the Jerusalem artichoke. @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Mr Denis Mccarthy the last of the market gardeners showing us a plant stick around 100 yrs old today, we love hearing all the stories about Togher and surrounding areas from him. His Dunbar Rover potatoes are flying up, we can't wait to try them. Back on Saturday at 10

Many hands working together on Saturday, we planted in Oliver’s & Stella's tomato's, and started a willow fence which was so much fun, & shared a delicious lunch. Here’s to all the small moments that make this place special.

A group representing allotment growers has called for a significant increase in the number of plots nationwide, saying some existing facilities are reporting waiting times of over ten years rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/041…

Cork, you beauty! 🌞 ​We had a productive, sun-drenched session in the garden today. From weeding to watering, we got through a mountain of work while soaking up those rare rays. The garden is well and truly waking up for the season. @CommunityGrdns @greenspacescork

Another beautiful Saturday in Togher Community Garden, a meitheal in the truest sense, hands working side by side, not out of obligation but out of shared care and quiet joy. Laughter heard throughout the beds like birdsong, we are blessed. @greenspacescork @CommunityGrdns

Cork weather today, spring, summer, autumn, winter, and back to spring again before Lunch 🌦️😂 The garden didn’t know whether to photosynthesise or build an ark 🌱🚣‍♂️ 🤭 we harvested some beautiful candy beetroot, planted lots more seed and filled the beds with new soil.

Great day today for The Community Garden,as our well has been started, this is an absolute lifeline for us, the last 2 summers we have had to hand water as our rain water system kept leaving us down. We had another visit from a group of Italian students and more seeds planted🌱

Another lovely Saturday in our Community Garden 🌱 Seeds are going in, and the garden is slowly coming back to life after the winter. There’s something special about spending a few hours outdoors together,digging, planting, chatting, and sharing a few laughs along the way.
