Great to see👏
For the past few years, green-fingered Newtownabbey residents have been enjoying the fruits of their labour at Monkstown Community Garden.
The garden was developed by Monkstown Community Forum, in partnership with Monkstown Village Initiatives, after a mixed-aged survey of residents found that 90% of them wanted an outdoor community area to be developed, while 80% of respondents said they would use a community garden. The space is also used for events, including cookery workshops and online services are also arranged to show people how easy it is to grow their own food.
“Monkstown residents have found that growing and eating their own food saves money and is also rewarding as they build new friendships. “The garden is a great community space and we are really excited about the new growing season with the new raised beds ready for wonderful fresh vegetables and flowers.”
