The Real Green Politics - Down to Earth Activity - Togher Community Garden

  TOGHER COMMUNITY GARDEN   Beautifully nestled in one corner of Clashduv Park, Cork city, the Togher Community Garden has begun a feast of food, fun and adventure for anyone who wants to join in. Growing vegetable, flower, fruit and nut, the sun and rain beams its generosity on this community garden since 2021.    Run by Maria Young, coordinator with Cork Food Council and volunteers, whose enthusiasm and positivity beams warmly on anyone who drops by for a visit. And more volunteers are welcome too! The day I visited, I was welcomed in with a flourish and before long chats about the earth's needs and water resources and the fun and adventure of it all were indulged. Such a warm friendly communtiy!                                       Supported by the Cork Food Policy Counci, Maria and her volunteers have achieved much with the establishment of raised beds, a greenhouse, compost, store shed, water tanks, not to speak of upcoming rainwater storage and a rain garden.
