Growing Our Own : Unearthing Cork's Garden Culture

Join us for the launch of an exhibition exploring Cork's rich tradition of food growing, from the historic market gardens and allotments that once helped feed the city to the thriving community gardens of today.
The launch event will feature guest speakers exploring themes of heritage, biodiversity, and community stewardship, highlighting the connections between local growing traditions, environmental sustainability, and community resilience.
By connecting past and present, the exhibition celebrates community gardening as a living part of Cork's heritage and the people who continue this tradition. Visitors will discover how food, community, and place have been intertwined throughout Cork's history and why these connections remain important today.

The exhibition will remain in place for the month of August.
