“GCP wanted to demonstrate how locally produced food can reduce the carbon footprint of supply chains and show that any urban space can be transformed to provide locally grown produce,” she said.

Excerpt:

A city centre rooftop has been transformed into a mini-market garden – sprouting organic vegetables, from carrots and broccoli to spinach and spuds, along with a variety of herbs and salads…and even a fig tree in the greenhouse.

Galway City Partnership’s rooftop balcony garden on the Headford Road was officially opened this week by Minister for Social Protection, Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary.

Situated high above Lidl and with a commanding view of the Corrib and across the city, the roof area has been transformed into an urban oasis of tasty and organic vegetables.

Galway City Partnership CEO, Linda Sice Brogan described the garden as a great example of what can be done in urban spaces and at community or business level.

“GCP wanted to demonstrate how locally produced food can reduce the carbon footprint of supply chains and show that any urban space can be transformed to provide locally grown produce,” she said.

Funded by the Community Climate Action Fund which is awarded by Galway City Council and the Department of Climate Energy and Environment, the project began in February of this year and is skilfully tended by participants on the Tús and Community Employment programmes with support from Hinterland.
