Plot-Share in Limerick: What to Know

Private tip: The Golden Vale extends into north Limerick with exceptional agricultural soils. Many farms here have small parcels of unused ground they'd happily share. Rural Limerick landowners often understand plot-share intuitively from their farming background.

Homegrown.ie's plot-share directory connects growers with landowners across Limerick. Register your interest to be notified when new plots near you are listed — it's free, and there's no 10-year wait.

What Grows Well in Limerick

Limerick's relatively mild, sheltered inland climate suits a wide range of vegetables. Golden Vale soils are rich in minerals from the limestone — expect excellent brassicas, root crops, and legumes. The county's dry summers (drier than the west) suit tomatoes and squash in polytunnels.

For a month-by-month guide to what to plant in Ireland's oceanic climate, see our Irish Grow Calendar.
