Spring Bulb pLANTING

Enniscorthy Community Alliance is pleased to announce the fantastic response to our spring bulb campaign. Over 6,000 spring flower bulbs were planted in Enniscorthy's public spaces between October and December 2024.
​This impressive achievement was made possible by the significant turnout and active participation of local communities, secondary school students, and Youth Reach Enniscorthy students. Even though some bulbs were planted late in the season, we hope the campaign will bring vibrant colours to Enniscorthy in the spring. 

The spring bulb campaign was launched in October 2024 as part of our "Plants and Places Project." The objective was to engage communities, particularly young people, in enhancing the beauty of public spaces in Enniscorthy and its surroundings. We hope that the young people will feel proud, and rightfully so, when they see the results of their efforts in spring 2025. Residents and passers-by showed their appreciation, and motorists honked their horns in support of the participating youths' hard work.

Enniscorthy Community Alliance is grateful to Enniscorthy Municipal Council, Enniscorthy Tidy Towns volunteers, Wexford Local Development community workers, and Cluid Housing Association officers, whose collaboration and participation made this project possible. The beneficiary residents and associations involved in the bulb planting included Forgelands, Bridge Meadows, Madeira Oaks, Beech Avenue, Paddocks, Pairc na gCon, Gimount Avenue, Cluain Dara, Fr. Murphy Park, and others.

Fulfilling our objective to engage young people in the process, many public areas were planted up by the students of St. Mary's CBS, Enniscorthy Community College, Coláiste Bríde, and Youth Reach Enniscorthy. These areas include Templeshannon Quay, Abbey Square, Main Street, Mile house Road, Mill Park Road, Gimont Avenue, Cluain Dara, Fr. Murphy Park, the small park on Shannon Hill, and the Orchard Peace Park. The planted areas will be marked with "Do Not Mow" signs provided by EMC
