“I live on my own so I have nothing else to do. I’d be lost without it.

Excerpt:
The Knocknaheeny Hollyhill community garden has been described as a life saver by most of the people who use it.
It’s helped some of those who attend regularly pull themselves out of a dark place in their lives.
It’s managed by NICHE, the community health initiative, which is core funded and supported by the HSE Cork North Community Work Department, while additional funding and grants come from other agencies including Cork City Council.
Cookery workshops and a Men’s shed are just some of what happens at the garden, with the focus on ensuring those who attend live full and healthy lives.
Ger Moore, who’s from Churchfield but lives in Courtown Drive in Knocknaheeny, has been going to the community garden regularly for about a year and a half.
“I needed an out to go somewhere I could mix with other people because my wife died three years ago. After 40 years of marriage you get lost in between. When that hit I didn’t want to go out,” Ger said.
“Since I came I’m doing ok. It’s enjoyable. It’s a social occasion, meeting other people like myself who might have been in the same predicament. It gets me out of home,” he added.
