We’re very happy to have completed the new plantings in the beds in Belarmine. Thanks to the hard work of the Landscape Committee for getting this done.
The plants in our beds have been selected by the Residents Association to give you pleasure and as they mature will provide food for the Bees, Butterflies and other insect pollinators which urgently need our help due to the prolific use of pesticides.
As time goes by plants may be added to these beds to extend the flowering period. If you are interested in helping please contact us at info@belarminera.ie.
