Based in Sligo, Co. Sligo, we set up SCCG in the summer of 2020. The founding members, Fiona, Jenny, Kylie and Trisha, wanted to create an outdoor growing and learning space, to help promote biodiversity, the grow your own ethos, and raise environmental awareness among children and families alike.
We have been fortunate enough to have artist Ruth Le Gear join us. Ruth is linked to the Sligo Children's Community Garden for different projects and creative processes, which have expanded and blossomed involvement of many generations within our community.
With the extra segregation placed on individuals and families during the challenging times of the last few years, we wished to provide a space to regrow community bonds and facilitate children's education in the outdoors. We host family days and parent/carer and toddler groups in our poly tunnel, and reach out to marginalised members of the community.
