Bandon Allotments

Some info from Bandon Allotments:

Bandon allotments are up and running! Thanks and congratulations to the small group of dedicated people that have helped to bring this about and to Cork County Council for making the land available.

The allotment garden is located in Cloughmacsimon – a short distance off the bypass, right behind Coláiste Na Toirbhirte. It’s set on a gentle south facing slope, with well drained light soil that should produce some superb veggies. There’s compost available on site and work will shortly begin on creating a new entrance, car park, perimeter fencing and water supply.

Plots are available in 2 sizes 5x7m for €80pa or 5x10m for €100pa. There are plenty of plots available so call 023 8852922 or 087 9567452 or email bandontransition@gmail.com for more information.
Sign up on the website for email updates and we’ll let you know about upcoming events, like our open day in mid-May.
