Generational Calm: An Intergenerational Day of Drawing and Exploration in the Garden with Melissa Culhane and Ruth Le Gear
Ruth Le Gear has successfully worked with the Sligo Children’s Community Garden (SCCG) on numerous projects, including the Story Shed, The Seed Project with the Irish Hospice Foundation, and the Intergenerational Podcast with The Community Foundation for Ireland. These projects highlight her commitment to fostering intergenerational connections and community engagement. You can explore these projects further at SCCG Projects.
We believe in the power of intergenerational socially engaged work to create vibrant, cohesive communities. This philosophy is at the heart of Ruth Le Gear’s collaborative projects with the Sligo Children’s Community Garden (SCCG). Her innovative approach bridges generational gaps, bringing together people of all ages to share, learn, and grow.
Through this initiative, we celebrate the invaluable insights of the wise ones and the fresh perspectives of the wee ones, fostering a sense of community and continuity that transcends age. Together, we cultivate a garden not only of plants but of shared experiences, enriching both our present and future.
Generational Calm embodies the spirit of collaboration and mutual respect, ensuring that the wisdom of the older generation and the creativity of the younger generation contribute to a thriving, inclusive community.
