Ferns - Fearna Mór

We eventually put the heritage planters in place at St. Mogue’s well! Mary couldn’t wait to get them planted up! Juniper trees took central stage surrounded by pollinator friendly Lavenders and golden Carex grasses. 💜💛 @PollinatorPlan #tidytowns

A wonderful array of Summer colour spotted around the village this evening. The wildflowers growing alongside the pollinator friendly planting is a haven for our bees and other pollinators. 🌺🐝🌸🐝🦋🐞🌼

We are incredibly grateful to all those who supported #NoMowMay. No Mow May is over, but that doesn’t mean you have to start cutting regularly again.Mowing less from April until September is one of the best ways you can help pollinators. Jeep the buzz going with #LetItBloomJune

Frank and Mary had another busy evening putting up the last of the hanging baskets. The entrance to #FernsCastle and visitor centre was adorned with beautiful baskets full of Summer colour. The baskets and half barrel planters looked spectacular with Nepeta in full bloom #bees

Two of our volunteers, Mary and Frank made the most of the sunshine today! Twenty eight pollinator friendly baskets were placed around the village. The baskets along the stone wall of St. Edan’s cathedral and graveyard make a beautiful addition to the area

"I think it's a huge psychological leap to get over that idea of 'neatness'" @BioDataCentre and Amanda Bell on #NoMowMay, a campaign started by @Love_plants to encourage everyone to lock away the lawnmower & help our native wildlife More info here: bit.ly/41rdXd9

Thanks to Enniscorthy District Manager Claire Lawless and Cllr. Aidan Browne for meeting us yesterday to discuss the ongoing problems we are experiencing around the village. One such problem was the flooding at St. Mogue’s well. We are delighted to say it has now been rectified.

Four of our volunteers Angie, Mary, Bernie and Rose headed out bright and early on Tuesday morning and evening to weed and tidy up the large landscaped area on the Enniscorthy Road. After several hours of weeding, digging, and edging they had the area transformed

Fantastic achievement by @Ferns_CFR

The hanging baskets are really beginning to add a special touch of Summer around the village and the bees are just loving them 🌺🐝🌸🐝☀️@TidyTownsIre @wexfordcoco @historicferns

The Beech hedge planted by our volunteers to hide the unsightly boundary wall along the church grounds is thriving. Just look at the difference it’s making to the area already. Thanks to @wexfordcoco for providing the Beech saplings under the ‘free trees for Wexford scheme’.
