New for 2026: Every Irish local authority now has a statutory obligation to plan for allotments — but waiting lists are still 2 to 10 years long. See current wait times →
Ireland's Plot-Share Marketplace

Your neighbour has spare growing space. Go grow.

Ten years on a Dublin allotment waiting list? There's a better way. Homegrown.ie matches people who want to grow with landowners — suburban gardens, rural farms, church lands, schools — who have space to share.

Directory + matching · no in-platform fees · landowners and growers arrange directly

I want to grow

Tell us where you are, how much space you want, and what you want to grow. We'll match you with a landowner nearby with room to share. No 10-year council waiting list.
