Carmel O’Neill sent ECI this update:
Some progress has been achieved the creation of a bio diverse garden in the grounds of Lacken Church. The granite trough , a replica of the original trough from St Boden’s well, was moved from the side of the church and placed under the front window where it was filled with bee pollinating alpines.
A patch of ground was dug nearby and the soil prepared for a new rose bed. We planted 8 floribunda roses in August and they have now started to produce flowers.
At the end of July, we had the unveiling of an interpretative panel detailing aspects of our Christian and cultural heritage. It also includes species of our wildlife. The panel is located beside the Mass path and is a focal point of interest for the many hillwalkers who regularly visit the area.
