This project was funded on 16 May 2024!

Our community garden is a focal point at the top of our road and is the first thing that is seen as you access / pass Clancarthy Road. We are looking to transform the community garden and have it more low maintenance without losing it's character and retaining the beautiful silver birch trees. At present the community garden has silver birch trees and perennial shrubs that bloom in summer and winter. However due to the natural shedding of the trees it is becoming more difficult to keep the garden maintained due to the age profile of our committee.

What we'll deliver:

  • Large Planters for perennial shrubs
  • Box planters x 2 with small trees
  • Perennial shrubs and flowers throughout the garden

Why it's a great idea:

There is a lot of footfall and traffic that pass by the garden on a daily basis. Turning the garden into a more manageable area will bring the following benefits: People who live very close by will have pride in the area Local children can see nature at its best with the trees and various plats that we have It will be more manageable

Steps to get it done:

  • Purchase the large planters and the box planters and trees

We have raised €500 through subscriptions from the residents of Clancarthy road over the last couple of years.
