About
Welcome to The Old Garden, a vibrant new community garden initiative rooted in Clane, Co. Kildare.
Our vision is to cultivate not just plants, but a thriving ecosystem where biodiversity flourishes, individuals connect, and sustainability thrives.
We invite you to follow us here as we aim to rebuild and increase biodiversity, provide garden plots, community gardens, farm produce, employment and horticultural training, starting this year.
