Exciting Project Update from the Tidy Towns Team!
We are absolutely thrilled to give you a sneak peek at our brand-new Friendship Garden, located right in the beautiful grounds of St. Patrick's Hall.
This project is a true community effort and we want to extend a massive thank you to Paul Rattigan who designed the garden and AodhΓ‘n Englishby of Custom Creations (www.customcreationsireland.ie) for all the new structures.
Custom Creations have crafted a stunning array of woodwork for the garden, introducing a colourful range of upgraded old barrels for seating and planting, while also restoring and painting some of the existing structures, giving them a vibrant new lease on life.
We have already installed lovely new seating areas and fresh planting zones, all designed to make this space as warm, peaceful and welcoming for our community as possible.
The Friendship Garden now features natural stones in three distinct colours, carefully arranged to introduce organic tones to the space. These varied stones create a backdrop that contrasts with the surrounding greenery & timber structures. All together, we hope that the garden will symbolise the diverse and lasting nature of Friendship πΊπΊπΊ
The garden is still a work in progress, but with more new planting and a beautiful new water feature on the way, we are so excited to see it fully come to life. We really hope you will wander down to St. Patrick's Hall to take a look & watch it grow.
