Silverlawn enters Get Meath Growing 2023 competition and became one of 5 local group winners that benefited to the tune of €40,000 thanks to a unique initiative that engages and inspires communities around Ireland to come together to grow.

Get Meath Growing 2023 poster

Grow It Yourself (GIY) and tech giant Meta have collaborated to Get Meath Growing, part of GIY's national Get Ireland Growing campaign, a project that aims to enable residents in Meath to engage in a positive food-growing experience and to participate in sustainable action.

Get Meath Growing with Meta and GIY encourages and enables the people of Meath to start growing food in their own community, or where they are already partaking in food growing to bring that activity to the next level.

A poster with 4 questions and some images taken in Silverlawn has been designed to enter Get Meath Growing competition.

This was only possible thanks to all people who contributed to make this happen by sharing competition details, looking after flower banks, flowers at the entrance and all those who put their voluntary effort to make Silverlawn a better place to live.
