We are delighted that we are finally able to share a short snippet of our Creggan in Bloom project which began back in September to transform the Urban Park area of the Ballymagowan Allotment Site through our partnership with Apex Housing Association
This project saw the planting out of over 40,000 bulbs along the Urban Park area. We saw approx. 500 volunteers of all ages come together from schools, community groups and others across the city.
