We are a Children’s Community gardening space based in Sligo. SCCG was created in the summer of 2020 as a response to the extra segregation placed on individuals and families during the challenging times of the Coronavirus. Our founding members wanted to create an outdoor growing and learning space, to encourage and enable families and children to grow their own food. With an emphasis on raising environmental awareness and promoting biodiversity and sustainability, we provide a space to regrow community bonds and facilitate children’s education in the outdoors. When restrictions allow, we will host family days and parent and toddler groups in our poly tunnel, and reach out to marginalised members of the community. We also offer limited family memberships.
