Abbeyleix Community Garden Flourishes with New Gazebo from People First Credit Union's Community Fund!

Nestled in the heart of Abbeyleix, the Abbeyleix Community Garden is more than just a garden — it’s a vibrant community hub where people come together, unwind, and connect with nature. Supported by People First Credit Union's Community Fund, the garden recently welcomed a beautiful new gazebo, providing the perfect spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings — rain or shine.

The garden is alive with growth and activity. Its vegetable patches are bursting with fresh produce, including garlic, basil, chillies, and tomatoes — perfect for soups, sauces, or homemade pesto. Nature lovers will delight in the wild butterfly patches, attracting a colorful array of pollinators and adding a touch of magic to every visit.

For those who love a good read, grab a novel from their book house. Hungry visitors can make the most of the wood-fired oven, cooking up delicious pizza right in the garden. The space also features greenhouses, ideal for nurturing plants year-round, and a secret garden, a quiet corner designed for relaxation and reflection.

The gazebo has quickly become the heart of the community garden, offering a welcoming place to gather, socialize, or simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Every element of the garden — from the thriving vegetable patches to the peaceful secret garden — reflects the spirit of community, sustainability, and connection.

Whether you’re looking to grow your own food, enjoy the outdoors, or spend a peaceful afternoon among nature, Abbeyleix Community Garden is the perfect spot to experience it all.
