John Andrew sent ECI this update:
We have been focusing on making gardens more pollinator friendly. The rectory lawn and the church grounds in Carrigaline were designated “No Mow” areas for May and we have been encouraging parishioners to have some if not all of their lawns uncut for longer, “Don’t Mow Let It Grow”
We grew Oxeye Daisies from seed and distributed them to our parishioners and to the Church of Our Lady and St. John community for their celebration of the end of the Laudato Si year. Not only are the Oxeye Daisies a great source of food for bees, they are a native Irish flower. Some of the daisy plants will be used for planting public areas in Monkstown by The Tidy Towns group.
