Terenure Village Clean-Up and Planting; Saturday 10th October

The autumn Terenure village clean-up and planting morning will take place on Saturday10^th October from 10am – 1pm. 

  

The clean-up team aims to:

• re-plant the ten large village planters around the village for the winter season,
• re-plant 11 smaller planters outside shops,
• plant some spring bulbs and
• clear up any litter or weeds around the village.

 If you have an hour or two to spare on the day the team would love to see you. 

Meet at Evergreen hall at 10am. The clean-up team has some litter pickers, brushes, shovel and gloves for use on the day but if you can bring along items for your own use (including a wheelbarrow), that would be great. 

Volunteers can join the team for a cuppa from 12.30 – 1pm.
