Following on from the work done in Scoil Phadraig on July 11th some of our volunteers were back there on Saturday morning last. Working alongside Mary Fennessy they cleared out a bed which had been planted with potatoes, peas, onions and carrots. They harvested the last of the vegetables and removed the w**ds. They then put the wooden frames in place which will be used for raised beds. They are now ready to be filled with soil and compost. This work will be continued next Saturday.

This is a lovely project and working in conjunction with the schools is an exciting new development.

Alongside our usual tasks on Saturday our volunteers worked on a lovely new project.

A Dead Hedge - Gnáthóg Fiadhúlra was created behind the trees near the Tesco Roundabout on the ring road.

What is it?
It is a habitat made from dead branches and twigs.
Who lives in it?
Woodlice, centipedes, millepedes, slugs, snails, beetles and Microbes.
Who else uses it?
Birds, frogs, hedgehogs, Pygmy
shrews and field mice.

We look forward to seeing the Dead Hedge coming alive with Wildlife.

Have a look next time you walk the ring road.

Our volunteers were out and about this morning. The lovely cool weather was very much welcomed, making our tasks much easier.

It was decided to do a litter pick. Our first port of call was the Stream Park and the Playground. Both were done quickly as there was very little litter.

We then went from Tescos down as far as Lidl and collected two bags of litter .

We also placed some lovely new planters in the Church grounds.

The area in front of the Evergreen centre was tidied up and w**ded.

Plenty done, and plenty more to do.

We then enjoyed our complimentary refreshments in Londis. Thank you to Niall and his staff.

Thank you to Lidl for our pastries as well.

Great morning's work by our volunteers yesterday.

One group worked on the Stream Park and the area around it. All the benches were washed, the paving slabs were scuffled and swept. The paths around the park were also cleared of w**ds and dirt.

With such hot weather all week there was a lot of watering to be done around the Village - hanging baskets, planters, the John Sullivan Monument and tubs in the Abbey grounds.

Meanwhile Paddy, Freda and Siobhan were at Scoil Phadraig working and planning with Mary Fennessy on developing the gardens around the school. We have advice on the following: the ESD ( Education for Sustainable Development) grant which will be available to schools in September for projects relating to sustainability. To avail of the 2500 euro grant teachers must subscribe to the ESD newsletter; the creation of pollinator-friendly beds; the creation of fruit beds; the creation of a mini-wood; the creation of perennial beds that flower for most of the year; the creation of vegetable beds and a plan of work for each class; the creation of composting areas.

So it was a busy morning for all involved with lots of ideas and plans in the pipeline. An exciting time!

It’s been another busy week for our volunteers.

It was all hands on deck as we concentrated on the Main Street.
Lots of w**ding and sweeping was done and it looks so much better.

The flowers in the planters and the Church railings are coming along nicely. They add some lovely colour to village.

Some new flowers were planted at the Kare Centre also.

Grass verges and roundabouts are being cut on a regular basis too, helping the approach roads look tidy and well kept.

We continue to encourage business owners and households along the main street to keep the outside of their properties clean and tidy. This will be a great help to us at this very busy time of the year. We would also like to thank those businesses who have put hanging baskets and window boxes on their shops making a lovely splash of colour.

While there are a lot of tasks to do at this time of year, there is a great sense of satisfaction when they are completed.

There is also plenty of chat and craic along the way with a great bunch of volunteers who love living in Clane.

We are now in the middle of Judging season.

So it was all hands on deck on Saturday morning and Monday evening.

There is plenty to do around the village to have it looking its best for the judges.

The last few weeks of rain has kept us indoors and given the w**ds plenty of time to take up residence!

Some of the areas tackled were:

- The stretch along Abbey Court on the Prosperous road down to O’Briens

- The Main Street, which we hope to finish on Saturday.

- The Ring Road, which is one of our biggest tasks.

- New pots were planted up and placed at The Kare Centre on the Dublin Road.

- The rear entrance into the Abbey and Evergreen Centre was tidied up and w**ded.

- The lovely new Baskets on the church Railings were watered and doing well.

- Nicotina Flowers, grown by one of our Volunteers, were planted at the Circle K beds. Hopefully these will attract Moths, our night time pollinators .

Lots done, still plenty to do.

We meet every Saturday morning at 9 am and every Monday evening at 7pm.

If you have an hour or two on any Saturday or Monday we would be delighted to have you join

Another busy week for our Tidy Towns volunteers. Our lovely stream park is looking much better after w**ding and sweeping.

We also planted beautiful pink carpet roses at the water Pumping Station. We used recycled cardboard as a w**d barrier and then placed a thick layer of mulch on top. 🌸 🌸 Hopefully they will give us a fabulous display all summer long. 🌞 🌞

As we previously said the Tidy Towns Judges are out and about starting their judging. We again ask businesses and home owners to take a look at their premises and see if anything needs to be done to improve the look. Maybe a wash or a little paint could make a big difference. As it's a very busy month for us we'd appreciate any help we can get. Thank you.
