6 Week Practical Gardening Course

This 6-week training course offers practical skills and shared learning to help everyone - from the novice gardener to the more experienced - cultivate their garden at home or develop their skills in the Kildorrery Community Garden.

The sessions focus on practical, hands-on learning in a supportive environment where participants can build confidence in growing, planting and maintaining a vegetable garden.

Gardening is a simple yet powerful way to support mental health and reduce social isolation, particularly in rural communities. Time spent outdoors, growing and nurturing plants, can help reduce stress, improve mood, and create a sense of purpose.

Community gardening also provides valuable opportunities for social connection, bringing people together in a welcoming and inclusive space.
