Growing together, for tomorrow
A community garden in Clane, Co. Kildare, where people come together to grow food, share knowledge, and nurture nature.
A Place for Everyone
Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a total beginner, The Old Garden is open to all.
Our Journey So Far
Founded in 2024, The Old Garden’s vision is to cultivate not just plants, but a thriving ecosystem where biodiversity flourishes, individuals connect, and sustainability thrives. We are incredibly grateful to the Jesuits and Clongowes Wood College for leasing the land that makes this project possible.
