The growing-space listings service Ireland is missing

Growers discover nearby space; hosts advertise what they can offer. The two sides remain in control of the decision, agreement and payment.

Grower requests

People tell us their county, rough area, plot size, growing plan, and timing. We keep private details out of public pages.

Host listings

Garden owners, farmers, schools, parishes, estates, and community groups list spare ground with access, water, size, and limits.

Direct enquiry

During the pilot we share contact details only after both adults approve a suitable proposed introduction.

County flywheel

Every request improves the county demand map, which tells us where to recruit the next hosts first.

Current pilot focus:

Supply first in Irish cities, accessible suburbs and nearby counties. Listings are free during the pilot. Homegrown is also investigating optional platform-arranged host liability cover for a later phase.
