Time to think about community gardening!

Hi! As any gardener knows, February is one of the crucial moments in the year - you start preparing, planning, starting seeds and doing other work around your garden to prepare for a productive year. But what if you don't have a garden of your own? I don't! I do have a small DIY worm bin set up, as there isn't really a lot of reasonable ways to compost the food waste at home, I also grow quite a lot of herbs and some veg in my apartment and in bags in the shared space, but I also found out last year that getting involved in a community garden is a really great thing both to grow some food and to get mental health benefints form it. The community garden I'm a member of, namely Mud Island in Dublin, is ran in a communal, IMO very Solarpunk adjacent way - instead of members having their 'own' plots allotment style, all the things, like planting plan and infrastructure projects are governed by the community, and it is also a very nice space for community events. You can check out Community Gardens Ireland - an island-wide network of community gardens, it can be a good starting point to find one near you to get involved. Do you think you can try and join one this year?
