Excerpt:
Steve Rawson had waited 10 years before he finally, in 2021, got his hands into the dirt of his own allotment, his own plot in St Anne’s Park in Raheny.
Now, Rawson is the chair of St Anne’s Allotment and heavily involved in a vibrant community that has grown from the garden, alongside the carrots and cabbages, he said by phone on Tuesday.
It’s the tremendous spirit of meitheal and the regular social and fundraising events that Rawson really loves, he says. “Say if a member is ill, we’ll come together and look after the plot for them until they overcome their illness, or whatever it might be.”
Some of the allotment has been reworked as a community garden, a larger shared space for growing rather than a plot for an individual to work on alone.
Now, more groups can get involved, he says.
There’s ecological benefits to allotment and community gardening too, says Aaron Foley of Dublin Community Growers.
