Its also a place of lovely solitude where you can sit and listen to the river flow.

This morning we planted our hanging baskets in conjunction with Sophia and John at ArraTipp. Sophia guided us on the importance of pollinator friendly planting, and we will have many baskets in the town this year which are all made up of pollinator friendly planting.

Sophia, John and all the Team at Arrabawn Co Op Newport thank you so much for the advice and hospitality this morning and thanks to everyone in the community who helped out.
