Risk consideration
Any outdoor activities such as gardening and DIY may pose an element of risk for participants. A full briefing and safety announcement will be made before the event starts, so it is essential to join this briefing at the beginning of the workshop at 11am. We aim to make each activity as accessible as possible for all attendees and the garden has a level surface. Access to the garden can be made via a path ramp and wheelchair parking is available at the LINC building. If attendees have accessibility, or mobility or any other needs please let us know so that we can support your participation. We have a range of tasks to suit all abilities, skills and talents. All participants should review this form prior to taking part in the activity.
The GLAS at TU Dublin
The GLAS at TU Dublin community garden is a collaborative garden project between Technological University Dublin, Global Action Plan and Fingal County Council. The garden is located at an elevated corner of the Blanchardstown campus beside the LINC building. All are welcome to come and visit the garden and students, staff and the local community are encouraged to take some time during their work or study day to step out into nature and explore the garden.
