Located on TU Dublin's Blanchardstown campus, the garden is a collaborative initiative between TU Dublin, Global Action Plan (GAP) and Fingal County Council. Together, the partners have created an accessible community space where students, staff and members of the community can connect with nature, grow food, support biodiversity and take positive climate action. 

During this informal session, visitors can explore the garden, learn about ongoing community projects, and discover how activities such as food growing, habitat creation and community engagement support the SDGs in practice. No gardening experience is required and all are welcome.

The event forms part of SDG Week Ireland, a national campaign that highlights the actions being taken across the country to advance theSDGs and build a more sustainable future. It also reflects TU Dublin's commitment to sustainability through education, research, campus operations and community engagement, supporting the University's vision to create positive environmental and social impact both on campus and beyond. 

Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning to reconnect with the garden, this is an opportunity to experience sustainability inaction, meet like-minded people, and learn how collective action can help create healthier, more resilient communities.
