Plot-Share in Wicklow: What to Know

Private tip: North Wicklow's mix of suburban and agricultural land makes it ideal for plot-share. Many large gardens in Bray, Greystones, Kilcoole, and Kilmacanogue have unused sections that their owners would happily rent out — particularly to experienced growers.

Homegrown.ie's plot-share directory connects growers with landowners across Wicklow. 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 Wicklow

Wicklow's sheltered valleys and good soils support almost everything. The county's moniker 'the Garden of Ireland' is well earned. Strawberries, outdoor tomatoes, squash, and all the brassicas do well. East-facing slopes in the Sugarloaf foothills get excellent summer sun.

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