A double celebration at Ard Carrig – a Housing Hero award and a new community garden
Residents at Ard Carrig, Carrigtwohill in Cork came together on Thursday 15th July to celebrate the opening of a new community garden project. Ard Carrig is a dedicated age-friendly housing service. Residents have the support of a Scheme Manager who is committed to empowering residents to live for as long as possible in sustainable, high-quality, affordable homes in their own community.
The community garden project has been in planning for over a year with a focus on designing, funding, and extending the gardens at the Ard Carrig apartment scheme. A water fountain forms the centre piece, and a new seating area has been installed to allow residents enjoy this new outside space. The project included the addition of new raised beds in which residents Peggy Roche, Margaret Debuf and John Duncliffe have been busy planting flowers and food crops since last Spring. Margaret, Peggy and John work in the garden several days a week to keep it looking at its best.
