In April 2008, Carrickfergus Borough Council established the Eden Allotments, a five hectare allotment site intended to be a hub of community activity as well as promoting gardening activities and 'home-grown' cultivation of vegetables. It has been highly publicised in local newspapers and has received praise from local government for its environmentally friendly aims. It is currently believed to be the largest allotment site on the island of Ireland.[2]
EducationEdit
Eden is served by Eden Primary School. The school is located on a 3.4-acre plot of land within residential Eden and takes children from a larger surrounding catchment area which includes Carrickfergus and occasionally Whitehead.[3]
International footballer Willie Irvine (and most likely his brother Bobby) was born in Eden before moving to the Sunnylands estate in Carrickfergus.[4]
