Please find link to the Local Economic and Community Plan online questionnaire where you can make your views known about the importance of Allotments for Tralee as discussed at the last Tralee Allotment steering group meeting:  https://consult.kerrycoco.ie/en/consultation/kerry-local-economic-community-plan-2023-2029-consultation


‘As a wealth of academic literature shows community gardens are not only important for the biodiversity they promote and for the food that they cultivate, but that access to such urban oases is hugely important to people for reasons to do with social inclusion, environmental awareness and mental health.’

according to Rachel Freeman, lecturer in Horticulture at TU Dublin.
