Muintir na Tire School Garden Competition

  This week we also focus  on  Timoleague National School who won Best in Category  for their School Garden .  This is a very good garden despite the limitations of the site. The garden still covers all the elements including Food Production, Biodiversity, Upcycling Colour and art and is a fun learning place for all the children. We were very impressed by the links to local community garden and its use for teaching gardening and all things biodiversity. The new pathway helps with this. The students were very knowledgable. Keep up great work.   Congratulations to all involved at Timoleague National School   For more Information on the School Gardens Competition  Click Here
