Flanagan's Fields Community Garden and Grow Dome
Flanagan's Field Community Garden in the heart of Dublin, a garden founded by a local Rialto residence group as a way for the community to come together and develop an outdoor space to grow fruit, vegetables and flowers.
Situated in the gardens is the Grow Dome Project, a multi award-winning social enterprise regenerating communities through the transformation of derelict sites. A Grow Dome is a hi-tech greenhouse which doubles as a social and education space for the entire community to use – creating jobs and training positions along the way.
