“The new Pop-Up Garden Community Challenge at the inaugural Limerick Garden Festival is an inspiring and inclusive idea. The strong environmental theme “Upcycled Urban Garden" allows for many diverse and creative entries incorporating ideas such as waste prevention, vertical gardening, enhancing biodiversity as well as re-use & recycling.” Ms. McDonnell added "Raising awareness about these topics is important. The Environment Section of Limerick City and County Council is delighted to support this new competition and I would urge community groups and charities to make use of this new opportunity by entering the competition.”
