This morning our village volunteers were at work on Coolafinney Road. 15 new trees have been planted along the wavy bed and between the trees we have planted roses, hydrangeas and a variety of grasses🌱 Thank you to everyone who helped and a big shoutout to Anthony Kirk for the ground preparation and Thomas Jamison for watering the newly planted bed.
Have a look if you’re out for a walk in the lovely weather or if you’re driving past🌳
