Great news - councils are now required to develop a strategy for sustainable places and communities, which includes the reserving of land for allotments and community gardens!
Thanks to @corkindo for covering this.

November is the time of the year that mammals like hedgehogs like to find sheltered locations to hibernate.
One way to help with this is to leave your leaves in a corner in your garden! This provides a valuable shelter for mammals throughout winter.

Great article 👇 from the @DublinInquirer about the benefit of allotments and community gardens, but also the challenges faced by communities in seeking these spaces.

Earlier today Community Gardens Ireland were delighted to attend a garden party at Áras an Uachtaráin.
The event was organised to celebrate community groups and organisations throughout Ireland that are taking action to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals. (1/3) 🧵

Community Gardens Ireland has yet to hear back from @JamesBrowneTD about our request for a new survey to be issued.
Almost 50% of all local authorities failed to complete the survey on community gardens and allotment provisions, which is unacceptable.

While it is heartening to see interest in community growing projects increase in recent years, it is a matter of some concern that Ireland currently offers one of the lowest levels of provision for allotments and community gardens in Europe. @PresidentIRL
