Committee member Mary Maxwell is responsible for the design of our new garden areas and for the selection of suitable plants. She and her hardworking crew have added to existing beds, and have transformed areas on the Dublin Road and Forest Road this year. Many Saturday morning and Wednesday night sessions have been dedicated to preparation of the sites before planting could take place.
These new projects were fully completed on April 27 when mulch was supplied by FCC.
Mary also organised the planting of trees in large pots outside Penneys on Main Street, and the addition of new planters outside the garda station, bringing additional colour to this shopping precinct. The pots and plants arrived on site on April 6.
On April 13th our new purchase had its first outing. Noel and his team took the “Weedex” to the rock garden to tackle the weeds there. Less time spent on weeding means that we’ll have more time for planting and maintenance of existing flower beds.
