Well done the watering team; the pair of Ash trees planted now just a year ago by our retiring Principal, Donal O Donoghue, kindly donated by Evelyn, Plant-for-the-Planet volunteer and Metereological Climate Change expert are being checked here for progress. The Ash Trees were originally planted by Mother Nature; i.e. Evelyn didn't know how they got into her garden; the birds? the wind?
We are putting together school tree trails with the native trees we have on our grounds. Our plan is to use nesting boxes as labels, we are starting with a house for the "Elder Elves" family. We would love a few nestboxes, anyone out there handy with such projects. My brother, a carpenter by trade recommends the Instructions here on the Birdwatch Ireland site or even simpler ones here. Next task, attacking the weeds! We are very lucky to have a brilliant set of gloves donated by our local Grange Builders Providers so we have no excuse, except that our consultant Dale Treadwell does not mind weeds at all. Also we have loaned our gloves to the 5th class gardening blitz this week. Good luck with your work on the raised beds, please leave a little space for some young trees!
