Garden of Hope

The Ballinacurra Weston Residents' Alliance (BWRA) entered the 2011 Limerick Community Challenge.

As the recipient of an environmental grant of €1,000 from Limerick City Council the BWRA was invited to compete, and with an additional €1,000 from the Parish Matching Grant Scheme for a Memory Garden, the BWRA accepted the challenge.

This film documents the work of residents, removing graffiti in June and establishing the Garden of Hope over three rain-free days in August.

The Garden of Hope, which is dedicated to the memory of all those who died or left the area, took the first prize of €5,000 in the challange. The Limerick Community Challenge was funded by the JP McManus Charitable Foundation
