Ireland: Community gardens essential to food security
It is 100 years since the first national allotment law and we have roughly the same amount of community gardens and allotments now as in 1926.

Excerpt:
A highlight of the gathering – the 2026 theme is ‘Let’s Keep Growing: A Garden in Every Community’ – is the chance to learn from community growers from all over the country. There will be breakout rooms dedicated to the top challenges and opportunities such as land access, governance, horticulture, biodiversity, engaging community, and fundraising.
This event has become one of the most popular events in Ireland for community growers with over 150 registered in 2025. Previous speakers include former Minister Malcolm Noonan, Hans Zomer of Global Action Plan, and Jennifer McConnell, former general manager of Irish Seed Savers, and many more.
Molly Garvey, co-chairperson of Community Gardens Ireland, said that now was the ideal time to join the community.
“2026 is an important year for community growing as it is 100 years since the first allotment law in Ireland. The 1926 allotments law helped with food security in the 1940s but fell out of use, before being repealed in 1994. Communities have a new opportunity to access community growing spaces through the Sustainable Places and Communities Strategy Local Authorities must complete as part of their next Local Development Plan,” she said.
