Cherry Poynton Sent ECI this update:
The flower border which was planted in front of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Blackrock has been maturing nicely and has been full of Spring colour provided mostly by species which attract bees and other insects.
This year we have hung birdfeeders with seeds and fatballs on some of the mature trees in the grounds. Despite the busy thoroughfare on which the church is located these feeders had to be refilled in a short space of time as the birds have obviously appreciated the food. Our neighbours have been able to enjoy the maturing border but sadly most of our members have not since we are still not able to worship in our building.
We have more plans for planting shrubs, trees and other plants but this is on hold until restrictions are either lifter or eased.
