Sitric Community Garden is a small patch of land at the end of a terrace of 60 two up and two down houses in Stoneybatter in Dublin. The land was once derelict, but is transformed into a garden growing vegetables, herbs and fruit. It is also a focal point for community activities. The garden started as an experimental composting centre in 2005, composting household kitchen waste. None of the original participants had gardens. They began to grow vegetables with the compost on a derelict patch of land.
Many things are grown in the garden including, various salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, strawberries, passion fruit and many herbs. The garden provides an important space to grow. It is also a space where social interaction is facilitated. People from the area meet on the first Sunday of each month to garden together, and share tea and cake. Anybody is able to help themselves to the vast variety of food that is grown.
