Offaly to get first community garden

Offaly’s first community garden is budding!

Edenderry Community Garden has confirmed it has signed a lease with Offaly County Council for a site in Blundell Park.

A spokesperson for the group said: “As this will be Offaly's very first community garden, this is a big first for Edenderry and for the county.”

To coincide with this landmark event for Edenderry the garden committee, in conjunction with Offaly Local Development Company have organised a Community Planting Day to plant perimeter hedging with 500 trees (generously donated by the Trees on the Land Project).

The planting day is on Friday, April 10, between 11am and 2pm, beside the pitch and putt club.
