The Enable Ireland No Limits Garden in association with Solus Light Bulbs
Inspired by children using Enable Ireland’s services, the garden represents both the challenges that people with disabilities face but also the reality that, with creativity, determination, and support, you can ‘Live life with no limits’. It is a conceptual garden based on Enable Ireland’s vision for an Ireland that is fully inclusive and accessible to all. The garden is a fun, happy place where children can play and the Helter Skelter centerpiece challenges perceptions and makes the impossible possible.
After Bloom, the garden will find a new home in Enable Ireland’s Children’s Services in Leinster. It will be a playful space where children can have fun, learn and grow, much as they do in the organization’s therapy and support services.
