Closure of Community Garden in Nenagh

The local committee that provided Nenagh Community Wellness Garden has announced with regret this week that the garden is now closed.

“It is with sadness and regret that we must inform you that Nenagh Community Wellness Garden at Cudville, Nenagh, opposite Centra Shop, will no longer be open from July 1st 2020,” the committee said in a statement.
“The principal reason for this is that the current lease, which expires on Tuesday, June 30th, is not being renewed.

“We wish to thank our landlord for the past nine years or so, Maureen Meagher, for having the courage to take this project in the beginning and supporting it along, seeing it come to fruition and grow into what it has become. At times it has not been easy and we acknowledge that.

“To all the individuals, groups, and agencies who have helped create this amazing space and the learning that goes with it, thank you.

“Over time, we know that a lot of people have benefited from the garden in many different ways, many in ways not envisaged when we started out, and that has been important in the evolution of how it has functioned. Hopefully in the future something else will happen on the garden site to keep its spirit alive.

“Finally, some of those who worked to create the Community Wellness Garden are currently working on another green space project for Nenagh. This, we hope, will build upon the achievements of the Community Wellness Garden.”
