B&Q Liffey Valley Dublin

The Caement Community Garden was set up by myself at the side of my workshop. As a member of the defence forces I have seen first hand how important mental health is and it’s something that we soldiers ,sailors ,and airmen are only now starting to realize. Due to the work for both Country and community we are on call 24 hrs a day 7days a week, and during the Covid out break we suffered and some to breaking point. It was because of this that I started the garden and at the moment it only has 13 raised beds with hope for a lot more in the future. Thanks to the management and staff of B&Q Liffey Valley it was made possible. They have been very kind and supplied some tools and plants and above all have been very friendly and provided helpful advice. The garden is non profit , we get no help or funds apart from what B&Q donate to us. The sole purpose of the garden is to promote mental health by caring for a small plot and talking to each other. We have no media connection nor are we partners with any other organization we have no need for volunteers or funding but we could use anything DIY related ie tools plants compost or any gardening items we would be very grateful.

The main object for which the company is established are exclusively charitable and is to benefit the community of cherry orchard and surrounding areas in the city of dublin through the design, initiation and implementation of a programme which will cater for the community's training and educational needs
